Melatonin has been used for short-term treatment of trouble sleeping (insomnia) due to sleep cycle disorders and time changes ("jet lag"). This product may help you fall asleep faster and decrease the number of times you awaken during the night. Melatonin is a substance that your body normally makes. It is thought to help your body's regular daily cycle, hormone production, and sleep patterns. Some herbal/diet supplement products have been found to contain possibly harmful impurities/additives. Check with your pharmacist for more details regarding the particular brand you use.
The FDA has not reviewed this product for safety or effectiveness. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details. This product is taken by mouth with or without food, usually before bedtime or as directed by the package label. If you are uncertain about any of the information, consult your doctor or pharmacist. Do not take a dose of this drug unless you have time for at least 6 to 8 hours of sleep after taking this medication. Dosage is based on your age, medical condition, and response to treatment. If you are taking the extended-release tablets, do not crush or chew them. Doing so can release all of the drug at once, increasing the risk of side effects. Also, do not split extended-release tablets unless they have a score line and your doctor or pharmacist tells you to do so. Swallow the whole or split tablet without crushing or chewing. If you are using the chewable form, chew thoroughly before swallowing. If you are using a liquid form, carefully measure your dose using a medication-measuring device or spoon. Do not use a household spoon because you may not get the correct dose. Some brands of this medication should be shaken well before each use. If you are using the rapidly dissolving tablets, dry your hands before handling the tablet. Some brands are meant to be placed on the tongue, while others are placed under the tongue. Follow your brand's directions for placing your dose either on or under the tongue. Allow it to dissolve completely, then swallow it with saliva. You do not need to take this medication with water. This medication may start to work within 30 minutes. If your condition persists or worsens, or if you think you may have a serious medical problem, seek immediate medical attention. Yes, there are many things you can do and nutrients that can help improve your quality and quantity of sleep. The pineal gland near the centre of the brain produces a hormone called melatonin, at night when it becomes dark, to regulate the sleep-wake cycle (circadian rhythms). When melatonin levels in the blood rise, you begin to feel less alert and you feel like sleeping. Melatonin levels stay elevated for about 12 hours, while you sleep and drop down to minimal levels during the daytime. When sleep patterns are disturbed by traveling, shift work or other factors, you may find it difficult to fall asleep and stay asleep. Supplemental melatonin helps regulate circadian rhythms and improve sleep quality, especially when the problem is related to certain sleep disturbances and jet lag.
Using melatonin in sublingual tablet (that dissolves under the tongue) allows it to be absorbed quickly into the bloodstream. Our bodies’ natural melatonin production decreases with age, and this can contribute to age-related sleep difficulties. Studies suggest that melatonin supplements hasten sleep and ease jet lag, without the potential dependency issues or side effects of prescription or over-the-counter “sleeping pills”. Holista offers a variety of potency and strengths to help you choose the right product for your needs. Does melatonin make you feel drowsy in the morning? You should normally wake up well refreshed and full of energy.
If you wake up feeling a little tired, you should reduce your dosage. Because Holista melatonin is in a sublingual tablet, it is quickly absorbed under the tongue. Take it about half an hour to an hour before bedtime. Consult a physician prior to use if taking other drugs such as anticoagulants, anticonvulsants, blood pressure medications, immunosuppressive medications, or sedative, hypnotic or psychotropic medications.

Your Level of Consciousness is Going to BE BEyond Important with these Upcoming "Times": 3rd Density Collective Consciousness - All Hell Breaks Loose. Alternate Realities Available. 5D Consciousness (and above) is the Opposite (as always)
I prefer not to write this stuff, yet it's important to assist those collectives finding themselves "challenged" with their own Consciousness/physical reality. I will explain, paint a "picture", so all can read/see, and then CHOOSE: HOW to experience all... from inside... as Shifting your Energy/Consciousness, shifts your overall vibration, therefore your body's transmission, therefore your physical experience...
This is not to create fear, it's quite the opposite. It's to create awareness, which can resolve the fear, through Intentional Conscious Expansion, which give you the power to then shift your own consciousness/act from a different space inside, therefore shifting the vibration of the reality and experience, by applying a different mindset to the reality, one that doesn't hold judgment/fear/lack and emanate from the survival mode/root chakra area of Solar Plexus, Sacral and Root Chakra area of the body (hips/legs/feet too). ↓↓↓
Conscious Awareness returns each's power. Judgement/fear is a dis-empowered state. These are opposites. One allows you to act from your higher vision/you, the other is you acting/beliefs, from your lower dimensional/ego aspect. Choose.
The 3rd Density was a reality, a frequency bandwidth, created out of a level of (un)consciousness. If your body is in 3D, it's going to be pure hell. If you are holding onto anything, beliefs, things, people... this is fear/attachment and lack. Root chakra-based... heart closed/mind closed. No/little deep inner-connection on a Soul Level. Fear/control/judgment rule these realities that increase "collapse mode".
As the constructs for 3D timelines continue an accelerating process of dissolving/dismantling/deconstruction phase (template), the realities built on these go too. Judgement is an ego game of "blame/outside's fault/I'm a victim" and complete disempowerment. This is a huge energy that all hold prior to physical body ascension can occur. It's up to each to SEE this energy and choose not to play that lack game/program out anymore.
The human ego LOVES to judge and be a victim to outside being the fault. This is pure separation and it perpetuates the old until all the judgement goes. The conscious being OBSERVES the judgment and the mentalities stemming from this and comes to realize the game involved, which is "I'm not taking responsibility for my own Energy and owning my own reality. Instead I'm going to blame and gossip and point the finger at that/them, because if I don't, I actually look at myself and realize it's my lack of power/connection". Judgement carries the stories on and re-inforces the "belief". Pre-judging is each creating an opinion on all and bringing forth these "pre-judgments" based upon something not of the current vibrational experience (presence), because of some program still playing inside that individual/collective.
Judgement is PURE VICTIM mentalities/energy that loves to make everything "someone else's" fault. Example: "I'm broke, they charge too much." or "I'm not capable/they did this to me". It's an EXCUSE not to stand in your power and take responsibility for your own Energy/REALity as LOVE, abundant, infinite and Sovereign. There's always a dualistic blame/fault/victim/perpetrator.... which perpetuates the 3rd/4th Density Experience.... which will become heavy, create chaos and take each to a "breaking point". When instead, observing the judgment means we see it, yet it's not our reality anymore.
I awoke to observing many Collectives, Cosmic Energies and "what's to come" for 3D/4D realities maintaining a level of unconscious programming still. I share for each to understand, that shifting/expanding our consciousness, completely shifts this as "reality".... to an alternate/very different one.
So, here we go: (3D/4D Consciousness). I'm making all as direct as possible. No fluffy stuff.
Carrying "others" with your field... this is going to get "heavier", meaning cutting those cords of attachment and "hanging on" will occur "faster", because many were using each other to maintain/get through/get by... words don't matter. The mentality/energy does. No more carrying others. Each has to stand on their own two feet (energetically), come into their own POWER and open their hearts fully... experiencing exactly what is necessary to assist with this.
The more Light held, the more others love to attach, be in that energy and live off of that.... it's easy, abundant, magical and happy.... yet if all are not wide open and contributing, there are distortions/imbalances and you won't be able to "carry others" anymore... It will "get too heavy" and weigh on you. Literally, your body will put on weight.... You will be carrying "heavy" with your body and your field, and your field can't spin in the direction/at the speed it must in order for you to expand.... if you are the one relying on someone else's field/energy/anything, then you may notice them pulling away, shutting doors and ending relationships, closing out realities/timelines... your human will be shocked, even go to judgment or blame, when in essence it was YOUR ENERGY... so observe yourself and what you are transmitting out.
Warp Speed and slowing all down to a halt: Quantum Jumping, Quantum Realities are at warp speed/the Speed of Light. Maneuvering and Mastering can only be done from WITHIN THE PRESENT MOMENT and functioning in Universal/Cosmic flow.... Zero Point Field is where all is CREATED FROM... if you are scattered, not present and separated off into other places, times, things... if you've attached to something outside or anything, when the geometrics/Light Codes for your current reality activate to change the structure of your reality, you won't be aware of this and it will "appear" all is collapsing, because you are trying to "hold on" to something going... instead of embracing what's newly/now available and ready to come forth, the moment your heart/mind are fully open and you are on-board with ALL OF YOU....
NEW EARTH IS QUANTUM.... multi-dimensionality is Quantum... there's absolutely nothing linear here. We all have to learn how to function in non-linear states, from a Quantum State of Consciousness in order to Master the Physical here. This is through practice, applying much higher consciousness knowledge to your current reality, through the Light Encoded Teachings/Sharings available and created/shared to "make all easier" for those who VALUE this. It takes awhile to learn/understand how all works... as it's all completely different than before. Your old ways won't work.... and we all do have to choose NEW EARTH over Old Earth... at some point. The "sooner" we do this, the easier all is.... as all can align their entire reality on a Soul Level themselves.... instead of the "alternative" options that the ego aspect requires, due to refusal to open up to multi-dimensionality as a whole new "real existence" now.
3D = Ego Experience. Control. Narcissism. Fear. Judgment. Blame. No inner power/connection.
4D = Duality Experience/Transition phases while DNA repair/re-writing occurs. Higher Self becomes audible. "Other dimensions" (etheric realm) presents itself dependent on each's awakening process (Battle of Armageddon between Heaven & Hell, Good and Evil, Dark & Light begins. Outside and inside until inside aligns fully, then outside can begin.
5D = Higher Self is birthed/takes over/moves inside (descends into your form/emerges from within)
6D & Higher begin after 5D Embodiment has occurred... everything is birthed from within
NEW EARTH is beyond the 3D/4D Mentalities/Limits and Judgments, where bliss, magic, pure JOY, Harmony and infinite everything exists. It comes forth from within you.... as you awaken to your highest aspects/versions and START TO LIVE THIS FULLY NOW.
Unity - Love - Consciousness is our NEW Way. Sharing, caring, respect, kindness, compassion, generosity... supporting, receiving as a vibrational response to each's ENERGY, which is Quantum (non-linear).... our entire reality is fully aligned with this. There is zero feeding the old, allowing the old to play out. We don't "carry others" or tell them what to do. We allow all to decide their own reality to live out on whatever Earth they choose, whatever dimension/vibrational timeline. We don't "criss-cross" like before. We see each's purity, each's abilities and each's unconscious/conscious actions/energy CREATING REALITIES to occur and we honor this. We do have to separate all out, otherwise human ego aspects will impose and bring their karma/unconscious programs forth and dump them on our table/on our doorstep for us to "deal with", which is an unconscious program on all's part... where this is allowed to play out.
This is a multi-dimensional experience where an open heart means each is kind, each is contributing, each is sharing, each is holding their own/pulling their own wait and showing up fully..... there's zero lack... as that's an ENERGY and everyone has the ability to manage, master and shift their own energy. Only the human ego says it can't. ♥
I love you... you won't see me writing on this anymore (unless it's mega important for collectives), as my focus is on those who are embracing, ready and not playing the lack/judgment/blame/victim games anymore. My focus, as are all that I unite with, is NEW EARTH and Unity and our amazing realities we already live. My focus is supporting those in return, who have decided what is important and VALUE all as LOVE. My focus is fulfilling much higher roles/purposes here and we work daily to accomplish for all of humanity here. Those who truly value themselves, each other and are ready to live the most amazing realities too, are not arguing, fighting, judging and letting lack mentalities "control" their choices, because they understand that lack breeds more lack. Gratitude, abundance, appreciation and re-prioritizing creates and activates the highest timelines through the exchange of Light Codes to awaken within one/their field, for integration, application and living our highest vibrational DREAMS and Heaven on Earth fully... because we can.
You won't find us going small and catering to human lack programming.... because that's Old Earth... which is "dead". Literally... NEW EARTH IS VIBRANT, ALIVE, THRIVING and miraculous. Yet we all have to CHOOSE TO BE HERE... and all here... we have/did.
NEW EARTH is not experiencing 3D/4D (Density/Dimensional) Realities, because they are relative to our own Levels of Consciousness held/Embodied.....
See your OWN DIS-EMPOWERING JUDGMENTS.... and resolve these yourself. Clear this energy and open your heart fully. You can't bring judgment to NEW Earth. You must leave it at the gates.... to enter/walk through. ♥
p.s. I have a saying.. If you are Judging then you are not Doing.... You can't do both. Pick. ♥
p.p.s. This article is not a judgment. It's a Light Encoded Activation/Clearing to assist collectives with transcending the suffering that judgment creates/perpetuates, a Cosmic Multi-Dimensional Energy Report directly speaking to an Unconscious 3D/4D Program/Energy (Clearing Process) for all holding this still.

Information and Support
Everything we provide, share, and offer, is a way for each to choose consciously what each values as important and worth, in supporting and accelerating their own heart-opening experiences here, as well as further activating their own LightBody too. Each one of us does this differently, yet to understand that all is important and serves a much bigger picture/purpose, we start to understand that Energetic Exchange is a way to respect, reciprocate, gift and in-turn support the vastness of what we receive ENERGETICALLY and that all of these things are just tools and ways to activate, therefore it's not about a "thing" anymore.
All are here because they receive something, through the Light Encoded sharings and various ways to activate, elevate and expand by way of opening our Universal/Cosmic heart/ higher mind chambers and Gateways, often in seemingly unorthodox ways. By combining various activation tools and utilizing each for the purposes of stimulating and awakening pure beauty, kindness and a deep sacred connection from deep within, all of these "things" are just something that we each consciously choose to use. The value is not the value of a "thing", yet instead the value of what we decide is our reasonable exchange in order to receive heart-opening Soul activations, which is determined by how we utilize these "things". The value is determine by you, how you value and place worth on your your own Awakening Soul journey, and what tools you feel will most benefit and assist you with this. The value is the value you place upon yourself, your energy and what you choose to utilize to accelerate your own awakening journey and current (LightBody) phases you are in.
The tool itself doesn't matter. Your openness, your making a conscious choice and deciding what's important and how you desire to do this for yourself, as what "things" you feel will most benefit you in opening your heart. Your conscious choice is a very important part of the your own Awakening processes here.
Through our own higher states of love-consciousness, we take the focus off of the thing and we shift it to what we feel will most assist us with our current processes and phases. We shift the value off of the "thing" and onto our energy, our vibration, our LightBody, and what we feel will assist us with opening our hearts to/through more beauty, unity, kindness and love.
Our Entire Value System evolves, as we start to value ourselves and our Light/Energy, we start to value the energy, the work, the contributions of others too.
Here, each is supporting ENERGETICALLY the work, the programs, services, those working in Dedicated Service to create, share and provide the vastness of all that is offered to support, inspire, awaken, assist and consciously evolve.
Each is contributing to a much higher purpose, the Evolution of a much Higher Consciousness HUmanity. Your CONSCIOUS EXCHANGE becomes a part of this. ♥
In essence, what you are investing in, is your own SoulBody/LightBody and you are consciously choosing (free-will) activation tools to work with, in order to further assist you with the acceleration of this. You are exercising a conscious exchange of Love Energy (In form) in order to do this, which will in-turn assist with fulfilling higher purposes and Service to HUmanity roles here.

Metallic bellows are normally applied in the pipe line and Ducts where high temp & high pressure are present..These are basically to accommodate or absorb the thermal movements of the ducts or pipes due to high temperature and pressure.
BOSON Metallic Bellows are specially designed to take care of these kind of movements and also capable to absorb duct or pipe misalignment in all three directions viz Axial,Lateral & Angular or combination of all three.
Following are the reasons for the Thermal Movements in the Pipelines and ductings:
1. At the time of installation of Metallic Bellows in the systems, the temperature varies from the actual operating temperature of the system.Normally installation temperature is less than the system operating temperature.
2. During operation system temperature may vary from lower to higher temperature.
3. When system under goes to different ambient temperature.
At the time of system designing above three factors must be considered ( Thermal movements with temperature variation) other wise system failure may occur due high stress developed in the connected duct or pipelines.
To accommodate thermal movements in the duct or in the pipeline different type of Metallic Bellows like.Plain bellows,thermal insulation packed metallic bellow are used considering Temperature,Pressure & Dust concentration.
BOSON has very unique range Metallic Expansion Joint.
In some cases Bellow can perform as Flexible Seal.In Metallic bellow no of convolutes selected depending upon amount of flexibility required.
Interestingly Term Flexibility is also considered as type of thermal movements in the duct or pipelines.
It should be always remembered that thermal expansion can always occur in multi direction like Axial,Lateral & Angular.
The movements occured in two directions can only be absorbed by using Universal Epansion Joints. Universal expansion joints are made up of two bellows connected each other by an intermediate pipe and a system of tie rods able to withstand the thrust resulted of the internal pressure.
This type of expansion joints are used to absorb lateral movements in all planes. Also, with a special positioning of two tie rods at 180 degrees, the expansion joints bocomes able to absorb some lateral and angular deflections at the same time.
The amount of lateral deflection depends on the convolution number of the bellows on each side of the expansion joint. This amount can also be increased by changing the length of the intermediate pipe. The tie rods are also effective to prevent possible torsion forces.
Advantages of Universal Tied Expansion Joints
- Absorption of lateral movements in all planes
- Easy to absorb large expansion movements
- Minimum application area
- Preventing axial inaccuracies increases the system safety
The Gimbal SS Bellow is basically same as the hinge type, except that instead of being limited to deflection in only one plane gimbal Expansion Joints are used to absorb angular rotation in any plane, using two pairs of hinges attached to a common floating gimbal ring. Gimbal systems generally consist of two gimbal expansion joints or two gimbal and one hinged expansion joint/bellow.
The advantages of this type of construction is it provides a close control over the movement imposed up on the bellows and also supports the dead weight of the pipe.
In addition, the wind and shear loads are also taken care of by the gimbal structure. Gimbal bellows are designed to absorb the full pressure thrust load of the expansion joint and thus guard the adjacent equipment from damage due to thrust loading.
Formed Bellows are produced by reworking tubes, normally produced by deep drawing, with a variety of processes, including cold forming (rolling), and hydroforming. They are also called convoluted bellows or sylphons. Formed bellows generally have a high tooling cost, but, when mass-produced, may have a lower piece price. However, hydroformed bellows have lower performance characteristics due to relatively thick walls and high stiffness. Welded metal bellows are produced with a lower initial tooling cost and maintain higher performance characteristics. The drawback of welded bellows is the reduced metal strength at weld joints, caused by the high temperature of welding.
Metal Hose Type
A Metal Hose is a flexible metal line element. There are two basic types of metal hose that differ in their design and application: stripwound hoses and corrugated hoses. Stripwound hoses have a high mechanical strength (e.g. tensile strength and tear strength). Corrugated hoses can withstand high pressure and provide maximum leak tightness on account of their material. Corrugated hoses also exhibit corrosion resistance and pressure tightness under the most extreme conditions, such as in aggressive seawater or at extreme temperatures such as found in space or when transporting cooled liquid gas. They are particularly well suited for conveying hot and cold substances.
With a history of more than one hundred years, metal hoses have given rise to other flexible line elements, including metal expansion joints, metal bellows and semi-flexible and flexible metal pipes. In Germany alone, there are about 3500 patents relating to metal hoses.
Welded Bellows are manufactured by welding a number of individually formed diaphragms to each other. The comparison between the two bellows types generally centers on cost and performance. These bellows generally have a high tooling cost, but, when mass-produced, may have a lower piece price. However, hydroformed bellows have lower performance characteristics due to relatively thick walls and high stiffness. Welded metal bellows are produced with a lower initial tooling cost and maintain higher performance characteristics. The drawback of welded bellows is the reduced metal strength at weld joints, caused by the high temperature of welding.
METHOD OF SELECTION OF THE METALLIC EXPANSION JOINTS
- Resistance to high and very high pressures
- Large movement absorption
- Small dimensions
- Small adjusting force rates
- Optimal compensation in a very small space
- Early leak indication (in case of damage) via standard check hole
- Complete burst resistance
- Possibility of permanent leak monitoring in critical media
- Economical use of high-quality, corrosion-resistant materials such as Inconel, Incoloy, Hastelloy, titanium and Tantal
- Insulation against structure-borne noise up to 20 dB

Ginger Root S.E 5percent
Botanic Name: Zingiber Officinale
A perennial herb native to China and India, ginger root has been used for centuries in Asian cooking and medications. Ancient peoples used ginger root to cure everything from menstrual cramps to seasickness to food poisoning to body odor. The roots of the plant, called rhizomes, are where the benefits of ginger root lie. Actually, ginger root is not really a root at all, but a rhizome or underground stem. It's harvested nearly year-round. Ginger's earlier harvests - about five months after planting - are used to process products like ginger syrup and candied ginger. Later harvests are sold as fresh ginger. The longer the ginger remains underground before harvest, the hotter and spicier it gets - and the better it is for use in homeopathic remedies.
1) Aids in Digestion - Perhaps the best herb for digestion, ginger root prevents indigestion and abdominal cramping. Ginger also helps break down proteins, aiding the digestion process.2) Alleviates High Blood Pressure - Ginger improves and stimulates circulation and relaxes the muscles surrounding blood vessels, facilitating the flow of blood throughout the body.3) Treats Nausea and Morning Sickness - Ginger has been widely shown to prevent as well as treat motion sickness. Ginger root relaxes the stomach and relieves the feeling of nausea.4) Lowers LDL Cholesterol - Ginger root extract can help reduce the levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol in the body, reducing the risk of developing heart disease.

You’ve been on low-carb diet for a while. At first, it was great. Pounds were melting off. You had lots of energy. You were eating delicious food and not feeling hungry. The best diet ever!
But then your weight loss stopped. What went wrong?
One of the common low-carb diet mistakes below might have derailed you. These mistakes are easy to make if you are not paying attention. Any one of them can sabotage your diet and prevent weight loss.
Be aware of these potential traps and avoid being stuck on a weight loss plateau.
1) No longer hungry? Stop eating – or destroy any chance to lose weight
“If you are no longer hungry, stop eating”. This standard diet advice is even more important on low-carb.
Low-carb, high-fat food tends to be high in calories. You do get metabolic advantages from eating low-carb. Food requires more energy to digest and doesn’t convert to body fat as easily as excess carbs.
But eating too much is still eating too much. There is no way around it.
Although low-carb diets suppress appetite, eating habits are hard to change. You might eat out of habit – same quantities or meal frequency – as you did before going low-carb. Pay attention to your body. Stop eating as soon as your hunger is satiated.
Be extra vigilant with low-carb desserts. For example, it would be hard to eat two steaks in a row. But a steak followed by berries with a mountain of whipped cream piled on top? Easy. If you must have sweet-tasting treats, have them as a separate snack at a different time.
2) Don’t let your body conserve energy – move more to lose more weight
Our bodies respond to weight loss by conserving energy. You might feel tired and drowsy.
You probably want to spend all your time sitting down. Don’t.
If you have no energy for exercise, just get up and walk. It doesn’t have to be fast or rigorous, just as long as you do something.
If you like gadgets, consider investing in a fitness tracker band such as Fitbit. You can check your activity levels in real time and adjust your schedule if necessary. If you are not used to regular exercise, Fitbit’s “10,000 steps a day” target is a good place to start.
If you already have an exercise regime, your performance might suffer in the beginning of your diet. Go easy and give yourself time to adjust. The important thing is not to stop. Once your body is used to running on fat instead of carbs, your performance will recover.
3) Sugar-free treats are not as safe as you think
Most standard sweet-tasting foods contain sugar (in form of sucrose, glucose or fructose) and are high in carbs. When you eat something sweet, your body expects a carbs hit to follow.
Artificial sweeteners and sugar-free sweets can therefore confuse your body. It will expect carbs, but none will come through. This confusion can result in strong cravings for real sugar.
Pre-packaged sugar-free sweets are often full of chemicals and preservatives, which can cause further unpleasant side effects.
Sugar-free products can therefore contribute to a weight-loss plateau. If you’ve been indulging in them regularly, stop for several days and see if it makes a difference.
4) You are eating more carbs thank you think
Humans are notoriously bad at estimating nutritional values of food.
We always err on the wrong side. If you rely on estimates, you are consuming more carbs and calories than you think you are.
Don’t guess. Check nutritional info on packaged products, and look up carb counts for whole foods.
Carb content information is available via:
5) You must get enough fat
You should replace the calories from carbs with fat, rather than protein. Otherwise you won’t get the full metabolic benefits of a low-carb diet.
Most of us are fat-phobic, sometimes without realising. The media demonised dietary fat for decades, calling it the root of all health evil. Try to reverse this phobia and embrace fat. Make a conscious effort to add it to every meal.
Try counting your fat intake for 1-2 days. You might be surprised at the results. It could be that you are getting less than you think.
6) Sorting out your water intake is as important as food
Low-carb dieters need to drink a lot of water. Staying hydrated helps your kidneys and liver to process the protein and fat you consume in the most efficient way.
Another reason to keep drinking is that thirst can masquerade as hunger and sugar cravings. Don’t let it fool you!
Drinking lots of water has one potential side effect – electrolytes (sodium, potassium, calcium) wash out of your body. Electrolyte deficiency can cause muscle crumps, headaches and dizziness.
This is especially important in the summer or after exercise, when you lose more water through sweating.
Consider taking a strong multimineral supplement to replenish electrolytes. One very simple step is to add more table salt to your food.
7) Your optimal carbs amount could be different to standard
Standard advice for ketogenic diets is to start at 20g of carbs a day. This level is low enough for most.
However, some people have high metabolic resistance. They need to go even lower, to 13-15g a day. If you are not getting any results at 20g carbs a day, lower it a bit more. Do not go below 10g a day under any circumstances.
If you have a very active lifestyle, you might need more carbs than that to keep basic energy levels up. Try 40-50g a day for a start, and adjust according to how you feel.
8) You drink alcohol regularly
Some alcoholic drinks are low in carbs, so technically, you can have them.
However, alcohol can affect your weight loss in other detrimental ways. It converts to empty calories. It interferes with absorption of other nutrients, as your body will always process alcohol first.
Alcohol can also mess with your hormonal balance and make weight loss harder.
You might think that one small glass of wine every other day can’t do any harm. But in reality, this could be the factor causing your weight loss plateau.
Try to cut it out completely.
Low-carb diet is a great way to lose weight. Watch out for these simple mistakes and get the full benefits of this lifestyle.

Former Strictly Come Dancing professional Kevin Clifton, 37, has shared the news that his first project after leaving the BBC show has been rescheduled due to the coronavirus pandemic. The star had described his upcoming stint in Strictly Ballroom The Musical, directed by Craig Revel Horwood, as his “dream role”.
During an interview with Eamonn Holmes and Rochelle Humes on This Morning in March, Kevin told viewers he was made an offer he “couldn’t turn down”, which meant he had to give up his role on Strictly.
Kevin shared the announcement about Strictly Ballroom The Musical being postponed to 2021 today in view of his 373,000 Instagram followers.
The new production, based on Baz Luhrmann's film of the same name, will now open in Plymouth at the end of September 2021 with tour dates running through to July 2022.
Kevin had been cast to play Scott in the musical, which was originally played by Paul Mercurio in the movie.
Kevin Clifton shares sad announcement about first move after show exit
The statement shared by the professional dancer read: “Due to the on-going COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 UK tour of Baz Luhrmann’s ‘Strictly Ballroom The Musical,’ starring Kevin Clifton and directed by Craig Revel Horwood, has been rescheduled and will now begin in Autumn 2021.
“To ensure everyone’s safety in these uncertain times, the producers of ‘Strictly Ballroom The Musical’ had to take the difficult decision to reschedule the original tour dates.
“But the good news is that all of the shows in the touring schedule have been rearranged and tickets for each performance will be exchanged automatically, so fans will not miss out on this musical extravaganza.”
“Visit the website for the rescheduled dates,” it concluded.
Kevin captioned the post: “@strictlyballroomtouruk announcement 2021/2022,” alongside a red heart emoji.
It comes after the star opened up about how the musical played a part in his decision to leave Strictly earlier this year.
He said: “Well, I’ve always been thinking when would be the right time to leave and pave the way for younger dancers.
“I’ve done seven years and achieved everything I wanted to achieve. It was something I was thinking about.”

Kevin continued during his This Morning interview: “Something came along that has been my inspiration since I was 10 - Strictly Ballroom.
“I said one day they will put it on stage and I want to play the title character.
“Me and my mates used to have Strictly Ballroom parties.
“I got to do a Strictly Ballroom number on my fifth year with Susan Calman.”
“But I’ve just been offered the title role when it got out on September. I couldn’t turn it down.”
When he first announced he had landed the role of Scott Hastings, Kevin said in a statement: "I'm beyond excited to be finally fulfilling a lifelong ambition to play Scott Hastings in Strictly Ballroom The Musical.
"When I was 10 years old I first watched the movie that would become my favourite film of all time. This is my dream role.
"Plus I get to work with Craig Revel Horwood again! I really can't wait to don the golden jacket and waltz all over the UK from September this year in what's set to be an incredible show."

Behind the numbers: The oldest sports stadiums/arenas in pro sports
As the Wings and Pistons played their final games at Joe Louis Arena and the Palace of Auburn Hills, respectively, last week, the NHL and NBA lost two of their oldest venues. Free Press sports writer Ryan Ford takes a look at the oldest venues in each of the four major pro leagues.
The Red Sox’s home opened way back in 1912, on April 20, the same day Navin Field (later renamed Tiger Stadium) opened in Detroit. The Red Sox, in their opener, beat the New York Highlanders (who would become the Yankees a few years later), 7-6, in Boston. Fenway has hosted a whopping 8,212 Red Sox games (of which the Sox have won 4,659) and 117 Braves games (of which the Braves won 75, back in 1915). The Sox won four World Series in the first seven seasons at Fenway — then went 88 years before the next. (Maybe you heard about that, though.)
The runner-up: Wrigley Field opened in 1913, though the Cubs didn’t move in until 1916; the previous tenant was the Chicago Whales of the upstart Federal League.
Madison Square Garden
The Garden, as it now stands, is the fourth version of the arena in New York. Previous versions of the arena opened in 1879, 1890 and 1932. The current Garden opened in 1968, and it’s not going anywhere any time soon. Extensive renovations in 2010-13 that essentially left only the shell of the building the same should keep the Garden going for another four decades. “MSG IV,” as the Madison Square Garden Company calls it, has hosted 2,078 NHL games (the Rangers’ record: 1,104-678-200-96) at a capacity of 18,006.
The runner-up: The next youngest arena is a whopping 15 years younger — the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary, which was built in 1983 for the Flames and to host the Winter Olympics in 1988.
It was originally known as the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena when it opened with a WHL game between the California Seals and San Diego Gulls in 1966. The following year, the arena jumped into the majors when the Seals joined the NHL. The Seals left Oakland for Cleveland in 1976, but by then, the NBA’s Golden State Warriors had moved in full-time, in 1971. Since then, the Dubs have gone 1,158-753 and won two NBA titles (1975, 2015).
The runner-up: Madison Square Garden, which has hosted 1,981 NBA games (with the Knicks going 1,212-769.
L.A. Memorial Coliseum
This one gets the title on a technicality, as the Coliseum — built in 1923 — just became an NFL facility again last season when the Rams returned to L.A. from St. Louis. The stadium also hosts Southern California on Saturdays. The Coliseum has hosted five different pro football teams: the Dons of the AAFC (1946-49), the Rams of the NFL (1946-79, and then again in 2016), the Chargers of the AFL (1960), the Express of the USFL (1983-85) and the Raiders (1982-94) for a total of 412 games. The Coliseum has two more years of hosting the Rams before they move into a new facility.
The runner-up: Chicago’s Soldier Field opened in 1924, though the Bears didn’t move in until 1971. Soldier Field hosted the NFL’s Chicago Cardinals in 1959, as well.

Robert Lepage, the theatrical mastermind of the Metropolitan Opera production of Wagner’s Ring, will mount a new opera for the New York house based on Stephen Hawking’s popular-science bestseller A Brief History of Time.
The news emerged last week at the end of an interview on Radio France with the Argentine-born Canadian author Alberto Manguel. Manguel described himself as the author of the libretto and identified Lepage and Osvaldo Golijov, a popular Argentine-American composer of concert music, as his collaborators.
“The Met has commissioned an opera from Osvaldo Golijov, but we are not ready to confirm any other details of the project at this time,” a spokesperson for the opera house said this week.
Osvaldo Golijov has received numerous commissions from major ensembles and institutions in the U.S. and Europe and is the recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship, among many other awards. His music is performed regularly by musicians such as Robert Spano, Miguel Harth-Bedoya, Dawn Upshaw, Luciana Souza, Maya Beiser, the St. Lawrence, Kronos and Borromeo quartets, and the symphony orchestras of Boston, New York, Chicago, Atlanta and Los Angeles, to name but a few. His collaborations continue to grow, most recently with the notable film director Francis Ford Coppola, for whom he has written two film scores, in a period of under two years. He is currently writing a piece for Dawn Upshaw and Emmanuel Ax, and is working on a commission for the Metropolitan Opera. He has been composer-in-residence at Merkin Hall in New York, the Spoleto USA Festival, the Los Angeles Philharmonic’s Music Alive series, Marlboro Music, Ravinia, and several other festivals, and is currently composer-in-residence at the Chicago Symphony.
The première is scheduled for 2014.

Extra Space Storage Inc., a self-storage real estate investment trust (REIT) and third-party management company, is celebrating its 40th anniversary. Founder Ken Woolley became interested in the industry through a research project while a graduate student at Stamford University. He built his first self-storage property in Billings, Mont., in May 1977. Since then, his company has grown to be the second largest operator of storage facilities, with 1,441 locations nationwide, according to a press release.
Extra Space became a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange in August 2004 when it had 136 locations. At the time, it was the largest initial public offering by a Utah-headquartered company, raising gross proceeds of $290 million, the release stated. A year later, the REIT purchased Storage USA, which had 458 locations, from General Electric for $2.3 billion.
Extra Space acquired its 1,000th location in October 2013, and was added to the Standard & Poor’s 500 in January 2016. It has been recognized as one of the fastest growing companies in Utah, according to the release.
“We have had an incredible 40 years as Extra Space Storage has gone from a one-person development company to a best-in-class REIT with over 3,000 employees in 38 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico,” said Woolley, executive chairman of the board. "I congratulate and thank our team for helping build a company that will outlast all of us, and will continue to be an employer of choice in the state of Utah and around the country."
Headquartered in Salt Lake City, Extra Space properties comprise approximately 960,000 units and 107 million square feet of rentable space.

…And somehow it’s What I Ate Wednesday. This has been a really busy week with lots of information to retain, so let’s just jump right into the “What I Ate” part, shall we?
Since I showed you a lot of weekends recently, here’s a look at a Friday, when I worked from home but ran around a lot between meetings, errands, and the like. This was a crazy day, but crazy doing things I love, so it didn’t feel as crazy as it was. That’s a lot of crazy for one sentence, I know. Welcome to my world.
Breakfast: An egg sandwich and greens. For the dressing, I just used a teaspoon each of tahini sauce and water plus a pinch of goat cheese. Easy-peasy.
Snack: A plain yogurt (Siggi’s—what a nice treat!) with cinnamon, flax, and blueberries. I was in such a rush to get out the door, though, I forgot to take a picture.
Lunch: I didn’t get home from a meeting until almost 3 pm, so I threw together this smoked salmon & avocado on another sandwich thin and served along with some more greens and leftover roasted veggies. White balsamic vinegar for dressing. I had about 10 minutes to eat before a phone meeting. Not great to rush, but sometimes sometimes you just have to go with the flow.
Snack: A sliced apple with PB2 sauce and later, a ginger kombucha—again, no picture because I was using my phone to talk and totally forgot about my real camera. Whoops.
Snack: I was still raging hungry barely an hour after dinner so had more yogurt (this time, the plain Greek stuff from Trader Joe’s) with cocoa powder and raspberries. My computer ate my photo because I guess it was really hungry too. Or just totally f***ing with me.
What are some of your favorite things to eat on busy days? Do you ever rush through eating?

DeLise Robinson honored with DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses
McLaren Greater Lansing nurse DeLise Robinson was honored with the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses. The award is part of the DAISY Foundation’s program to recognize the exceptional care nurses provide every day.
DeLise was nominated by a patient for her outstanding and compasionate care. The patient said while DeLise cared for her, she felt like more than a patient. She felt like family.
Nomination of DeLise Robinson
“DeLise puts her job aside and helps you as if she was family and not getting paid to. When it comes to DeLise, it’s not about the next paycheck, she truly loves her job. If you need to talk or cry she is right there. DeLise is always on time with your meds. She will bring you treats or something to eat when you ask. She is just a genuine great human being with a gold heart. She is truly an amazing person and I am glad she came into my life. I will call her more than my nurse, but a friend as well. She will bend over backwards for her patients.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart DeLise. You are an amazing woman and you will always be in my heart. I am so grateful and blessed you came into my life when I was at my worse. She made my stay worth it, making me healthy again.
About the DAISY Award
The not-for-profit DAISY Foundation based in Glen Ellen, California was established by family members in memory of J. Patrick Barnes. Barnes died at the age of 33 in late 1999 from complications of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), a little-known but not uncommon autoimmune disease. The care Barnes and his family received from nurses while he was ill inspired this unique means of thanking nurses for making a profound difference in the lives of patients and their families.
“When Patrick was critically ill, our family experienced firsthand the remarkable skill and care nurses provide patients every day and night,” said Bonnie Barnes, president and co-founder of the DAISY Foundation. “Yet these unsung heroes are seldom recognized for the superhuman work they do. The kind of work the nurses at McLaren Greater Lansing are called on to do every day epitomizes the purpose of The DAISY Award.”

Map / Directions to British & Hessian Invasion Route Markers
On November 20, 1776, British and Hessian forces invaded New Jersey by crossing the Hudson River from New York. They came ashore at Huyler's Landing (also known as Lower Closter Landing), moved inland up Huyler's Landing Road, and headed south down this road towards the American troops at Fort Lee. Historic Markers along Tenafly Road mark their route.
See the Fort Lee page of this website for a detailed description of the events surrounding Fort Lee and the invasion.

12 Things You Didn't Know about Jean-Michel Basquiat
November 3, 2016
Perez Art Museum Miami's exhibit 'Basquiat: The Unknown Notebooks' offers a fresh look into the mind of the artistic genius. Here are some details you may not have known.

The show of Jean-Michel Basquiat's notes, poems, and sketches at Perez Art Museum Miami, "Basquiat: The Unknown Notebooks," reveals a personal side of the artist who's become a popular icon as well as one of the most highly regarded and highest-priced artists in the world. Here are 12 things you probably didn't know about Basquiat, who died of a heroin overdose in 1988, at the age of 27.

1. Basquiat's mother was Puerto Rican; and his father was a Haitian immigrant who fled the regime of dictator Papa Doc Duvalier after his parents were jailed and his brother killed. Basquiat spoke Spanish and Creole as well as English.
2. He ran away from his Brooklyn home when he was a teenager, and was homeless for a while.
3. When he was six his spleen was removed after he was hit by a car; which would hurt his health later on.

4. As graffiti painters began attracting the art world's attention in the late '70s, Basquiat became known for writing cryptic poems on the walls of downtown New York's Soho art district, using the name "SAMO," which stood for "Same Old S---"

5. The notebooks in the PAMM show were found by Michael Holman and Nicholas Taylor, bandmates with Basquiat in a punk/art/experimental band called Gray (probably for the medical book "Gray's Anatomy," an obsession and source for Basquiat); Basquiat lived with Taylor for a time.
6. Girlfriend Suzanne Mallouk (pictured, above left, with the artist) who is half-Palestinian and whom Basquiat courted while she bartended at a downtown bar, supported himwhen he began making art after he came home weeping from a day at a regular job. He filled her apartment, including her refrigerator, with paintings.

7. He met Andy Warhol, one of his idols, by going into a restaurant where Warhol was eating and selling him some cards that were Basquiat's first artworks. The two artists became close friends and collaborated on paintings (two are in the PAMM show.)
8. Basquiat briefly appears as a DJ in the video for Blondie's "Rapture," a hit that introduced rap to mainstream pop culture.
9. In addition to Mallouk, Basquiat dated Madonna and Jennifer Goode, one of the people behind Area, the art-driven club that was an anchor of the New York scene in the early '80s.
10. He was powerfully affected by the death of Michael Stewart, a young black artist on the downtown club scene who was killed by police in 1983 for tagging in a subway station, in what became one of New York's most famous instances of police brutality. When Basquiat learned of Stewart's death, he said "it could have been me."
11. He loved Hawaii, and had recently returned from the island, saying he had kicked drugs, when he died of a heroin overdose at home.

12. Last May one of Basquiat's paintings sold for $57.3 million, a record for his work. If he had still been alive, he would have been 55.

These are real Spinosaurus dinosaur teeth! They measure around 1.5-2" long and can be shipped worldwide! Each tooth is unique! These dinosaurs lived in what is now North Africa about 112-97 million years ago.
Spinosaurus could be the largest of all carnivorous dinosaurs, even bigger than Tyrannosaurus! Their diet included fish, and it is believed that they were semi-aquatic like a modern crocodilian! Spinosaurus had a large fin down its back, which is how it earned the name.
Price is per tooth.

Do you flush your contacts? Here’s why you need to stop.
The number of people who wear contact lenses in the UK has risen steadily over the last 20 years; according to new research, nearly 3.5 million people now use contact lenses to correct their vision.
When it comes to disposing of our lenses, though, it seems a lot of us are doing so improperly – either by tossing them down the sink or flushing them down the toilet.
So, why is this such a big problem? Because it is contributing to the microplastic pollution crisis.
Read more: The ultimate guide on how to quit plastic
In a survey of 409 contact lens wearers, about one in five responded that they flushed them down the toilet or sink instead of throwing them in the trash, according to a new study presented at the American Chemical Society’s National Meeting and Exposition.
“We found that 15 to 20% of contact wearers are flushing the lenses down the sink or toilet,” said Charlie Rolsky, an Arizona State University Ph.D. student who is presenting the work, in a press release.
The flushed lenses, which are mostly plastic, turn up at wastewater treatment plants and become part of sewage sludge that gets spread on farmland. This, in turn, can contaminate the soil environment and become ingested by earthworms when it’s spread on land – creating a pathway for plastics to enter the food chain.
Similarly, rainfall can drive the wastewater into streams and other waterways, causing microplastic to end up in the ocean.
Rolf Halden, the director of the Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University and one of the authors of the new study, added that these contacts do not decompose.
“They don’t degrade. They don’t attenuate but they become smaller. So they create what we know as microplastic pollution, which is contaminating the oceans,” he said.
Halden went on to add that many people don’t think of the lenses as plastic waste because they feel like fluid, almost like water. They even come in tiny packets of saline solution.
But even people who describe themselves as environmentally conscious admitted flushing their lenses, he noted.
“We have created an almost immortal material. It does not go away. It does not biodegrade,” Halden said.
Rolsky hopes that the findings encourage people to think more about how to get rid of plastic waste.
“This might have been a different experiment had there been labelling on a lot of these boxes sort of specifying ‘maybe dispose of these with solid waste and please avoid having them go down a drain’; maybe it would be a different story,” he said.
He and his fellow researchers have advised that, going forward, contact wearers throw their lenses in the trash or recycle them.
The microplastic pollution crisis was brought to the public’s attention last year, during an episode of Sir David Attenborough’s Blue Planet (see above).
In it, the legendary documentary maker warned: “For years we thought the oceans were so vast and the inhabitants so infinitely numerous that nothing we could do could have an effect upon them.
“But now we know that was wrong.”
Since then, we have been treated to a horrifying roll call of plastic facts: by 2050 there will be as much plastic in the ocean as fish; a million plastic bottles are bought around the world every minute; a sperm whale found dead near Spain was found to have been killed by gastric shock after ingesting 29kg of plastic waste; microplastic from Scotland has been detected in Antarctica.
In short, plastic – specifically single-use plastic – is really starting to trouble us. Thankfully, though, the crisis has had one positive impact on our world: it has brought thousands of people together and united them in the pursuit of one common goal – saving our planet.
With this thought in mind, we have created our ultimate guide on how to quit plastic. Be sure to read it here.

From across the Atlantic and across a shared office space, in the cold month of January two entities merged. Doug Propp merged his company PPI with Howard Gibbons’ Atlantic Television and since the two have gone on to produce original stories and show segments about America in America and Internationally. Some of their “only in America” segments have been on a prison that trains inmates Opera; an underwater hotel in Key West, where guests have to dive to their rooms; and a preacher in the south who preaches while holding onto a poisonous snake, tongue rolling and all (the snakes tongue, that is).
The three divisions focus on original stories and documentaries, production services in European and US standards, and a corporate video division. Broadcast and streaming media production are in the works—they have the content, now it’s just a matter of getting a webmaster in to handle all that! :)
Their party, in their office, on Wednesday July 21st was a sweet small affair of mostly television people with some Net types thrown in for good measure, like attorney Steve Filler. He was chatting with Robet Kyncl, manager of HBO European Programming Operations. Thomas Aguierre-Smith, who does video content management consulting for companies came with Lee Morganroth of Symbiotic Media. The two are schoolmates from MIT and are now bringing some of their “stuff” to market. Julia Stoecker just started working at Atltantic and Brandon Cook, an architect student and teacher at Columbia were also there enjoying the cool sounds from the live jazz band and enjoying some of the nice dry wine. Just before leaving Doug introduced me to Judy Burger who just moved up from Austin, TX and is doing some consulting here.

On May 9, The Indian Express carried two apparently unrelated Covid-19 stories on its front page. One reports the first information report filed by the Delhi Police against Maulana Muhammad Saad Kandhalvi, head of the Tablighi Jamaat, under section 304 IPC—“culpable homicide not amounting to murder”—for “allegedly going ahead with a gathering of around 2,000 people at the mosque”.
The other, under the headline ‘Tracking India’s Covid Curve’, says Gujarat has recorded 7,013 cases of Covid-19 infections, the second highest in India after Maharashtra, higher even than Delhi and Tamil Nadu, the other badly affected states. As the same chart gives the “doubling rate” in Gujarat as 12.38 days, by the time you get to read this column, the number of Covid-19 cases in Gujarat would have topped 10,000 and be inching its way towards 14,000. The same newspaper had reported on May 6 that “Ahmedabad has approximately 70 per cent” of the state’s Covid-19 cases. Add its sister-city of Gandhinagar, and one finds that the twin cities account for some three-quarters of Gujarat’s extraordinarily high rate of infection.
Cut to Ahmedabad-Gandhinagar, February 24, 2020. Does anyone need reminding that on that day US President Donald Trump and his first lady landed at Ahmedabad expecting to be received by seven million cheering Modi-bhakts? That was a hallucination. Newspaper and TV reports of the welcome place the number of those lining the streets, pushing against each other, and cheek by jowl at around one lakh. When the Trumps eventually reached the Sardar Patel Stadium, the “world’s largest cricket stadium” at Motera, Ahmedabad, estimates of the crowd packing the overflowing stadium (damn social distancing) ranged from one lakh to 1.25 lakh plus uncounted tens of thousands milling around outside.
At this point, it would be useful to sit back and paraphrase the Delhi Police’s indictment of Maulana Saad, charged with “gathering around 2,000 people in a mosque” compared with gathering around 2,00,000 people in a stadium. Judge for yourself after looking to the timeline of the commencement and spread of the pandemic:
December 30, 2019: Dr Li Wenliang sounds earliest warning of something seriously amiss in Wuhan, China.
January 20, 2020: First confirmed case in the US
January 22, 2020: The World Health Organization delegation visits Wuhan and concludes that “human-to-human transmission” of virus is taking place in the city.
January 26, 2020: President Xi Jinping, at the highest level in China, publicly confirms the world is now in the grip of a global horror not seen since the Spanish Flu of 1918-1919.
January 30, 2020: The WHO proclaims the outbreak as a public health emergency of global concern; first confirmed case in India.
There were still 25 days to go for Namaste Trump. Would not the prudent thing have been to set an example to the whole world by calling off, or at least postponing, the proposed Motera tamasha?
Yet, Narendra Modi and Trump went ahead without heed to what would be the inevitable outcome of such a huge gathering in the midst of a “global health emergency”. Indeed, Trump was so aware that the US was in the thick of the danger zone that within 24 hours of his return to the White House, on February 25, he sent a request to the US Congress for “emergency funds for coronavirus response”.
So, is this “Gujarat model” the explanation for Ahmedabad-Gandhinagar becoming one of the reddest of red spots?

Canada SIM cards
|If you are travelling to the USA before visiting Canada, the AT&T USA sim card is your best option; if not, you need to buy a Canadian sim card locally after arriving in Canada.|
Canada is a very popular travel destination and a lot of people ask us about Canadian sim cards. If you’re travelling via the USA then the answer is easy. Simply buy an AT&T USA sim card to use in the USA and leave that sim in your phone when you head north to Canada (and make sure that data roaming is switched on). However, it is not such an easy option if you are travelling directly to Canada.
AT&T is the cheap and easy option but it only works if you will be visiting the USA first. Because AT&T’s prepaid plans include free roaming into Canada and Mexico you can use your sim card in all three countries without any additional roaming charges. The free roaming deal means that travellers visiting both Canada and the United States only need to buy one sim card and the standard inclusions on AT&T’s prepaid plans give you much more than similar prepaid sim cards available in Canada.
It is a much more difficult situation for travellers flying directly into Canada as AT&T’s terms and conditions state that your first use of your mobile service must occur on AT&T’s network in the United States. Although some people ignore this and start their service in Canada without any problems, we don’t recommend this as AT&T can (and often do) cancel your mobile service if you violate their terms and conditions. If you are flying directly to Canada, you should buy a separate sim card to use in Canada.
We used to sell Canadian sim cards (for Fido, Rogers and Virgin Mobile) but no longer do this as the activation process makes it very difficult to complete outside Canada. With some sim cards we used to sell, you must start using your sim card within 48 hours of having your mobile number assigned, which means that we could only practically sell these if you picked the sim card up from our office within a day of boarding your flight to Canada. Because of these restrictions, it is best to buy your Canadian sim card locally after arriving in Canada.
The following options are available if you are planning on buying a sim card locally after arriving in Canada:
|Example rate plans||Where to buy||Restrictions for visitors from outside Canada|
|7-Eleven Speak Out||Good value for calls and a long expiry date but expensive data. Coverage on the Rogers network.||$20 per month for a 100-minute call package plus $25 for 1 GB data, $35 for 2 GB or $45 for 3 GB.||From 7-Eleven stores|
|Bell||Bell is a good option if you want a prepaid data-only sim card for use in a tablet.||Talk, text and 1 GB data $60 per month.||From Bell stores.||Most top-ups can only be paid using a Canadian credit card but you can use a card issued outside Canada if you top up at a petrol station, pharmacy or supermarket.|
|Chatr||Rate plans are designed for use within cities and additional charges may apply if using your phone when travelling in other parts of Canada. Chatr is good value if you are spending all your time in one city. Coverage is on the Rogers network.||Talk, Text and Data plans $40 with 4 GB data, $45 with 6 GB data or $50 with 8 GB data.||From Chatr stores.||Top-ups can only be paid using a Canadian credit card but you can use a card issued outside Canada if you top up at a third party retail agent such as a petrol station, pharmacy or supermarket.|
|Fido||Coverage on the Rogers network.||$48 per month for 500 call minutes plus 3 GB data, $58 with 5 GB, $70 with 7 GB and $85 with 10 GB.||From Rogers shops.||Top-ups can only be paid using a Canadian credit card but you can use a card issued outside Canada if you top up at a third party retail agent such as a petrol station, pharmacy or supermarket.|
|Freedom Mobile||One of the cheaper options but it has very limited coverage and not all phones sold outside Canada will work on this network.||Call and data packages $55 with 5 GB data, $65 with 10 GB data or $85 with 15 GB data.||From Freedom Mobile stores.||Many phones sold outside Canada will not work with Freedom Mobile.|
|Koodo||One of the better value options with the advantage of being able to use a credit card issued outside Canada to top up your service. Coverage on the Telus network.||$48 per month for 500 call minutes and 3 GB data or $58 per month for 500 call minutes and 5 GB data.||From Koodo stores|
|Lucky Mobile||A good value option with coverage on the Bell network.||$35 per month for calls plus 1 GB data; $40 per month for calls plus 4.5 GB data or $50 per month for calls plus 8 GB data.||From independent mobile phone shops.||Auto top-up can only be paid using a US or Canadian credit card but most cards issued outside Canada will work for manual top ups.|
|Petro Canada||Good value for calls and a long expiry date but expensive data. Coverage on the Rogers network.||$45 per month with 100 call minutes and 1 GB data; $55 per month with 2 GB data and $65 per month with 3 GB data.||From Petro Canada petrol stations|
|PhoneBox||One of the better value options and it has no extra charges for domestic roaming. It is also a sim card that is more geared towards tourists with a multi-lingual activation portal and their sim cards available from some hostels and tourist information centres.||Talk, text and data plans cost $30 per month with 1 GB data, $40 per month with 2 GB data and $55 per month with 6 GB data.||From a PhoneBox store in Toronto or Vancouver and from some independent mobile retailers.|
|Public Mobile||One of the better value options but it is more work to activate if you don’t have a Canadian credit card. Coverage on the Telus network but most plans have data limited to 3G speed.||Talk, text and data plans $40 per month with 4.5 GB data, $50 with 8 GB data.||From London Drugs, Walmart and Wow! Mobile stores.||You need a Canadian credit card to activate your service; however, you can use prepaid credit cards purchased in Canada.|
|Roam Mobility||The easiest option for visitors to Canada but it only comes with a very small data allowance.||Talk, text and data plans including 500 MB data: USD $ 30 for seven days, USD $45 for 14 days and USD $55 for 21 days.||Online from roammobility.ca (they ship to Australia)|
|Rogers||One of the more popular options for travellers from Australia but it is expensive for what you get. Coverage on the Rogers network.||$85 per month with calls and 2 GB data or $90 with 4 GB data.||From Rogers shops.||Top-ups can only be paid using a Canadian credit card but you can use a card issued outside Canada if you top up at a third party retail agent such as a petrol station, pharmacy or supermarket.|
|Telus||A popular option for Canadians but it is expensive and difficult to top up if you don't have a Canadian credit card.||$60 for talk, text and 1 GB data.||From Telus stores.||You can only top up if your credit card has a Canadian billing address.|
|Virgin Mobile||A popular option for visitors to Canada.||$48 per month for 500 call minutes plus 3 GB data; $58 with 5 GB data.||From Virgin Mobile stores plus some pharmacies and supermarkets.|
Please note: Prices in the above table are in Canadian dollars (except Roam Mobility which is priced in US dollars) and are correct as of 25 January 2019 but are subject to change. They are also subject to restrictions based upon where and how the phone is being used and these restrictions vary from one operator to another. Like in the USA, Canadian mobile networks add sales tax on top of their advertised prices and this varies depending on which province you buy your sim card in.
As you can see from the above table, mobile service in Canada is much more expensive than in Australia or the United States, which makes the free roaming feature on AT&T USA sim cards such a good deal.
Also, many Canadian mobile networks have a confusing way of calculating your call charges (which is similar to the way that Brazilian and Russian mobile networks work). Essentially, your phone number will have a local area code for a specific part of Canada and inclusive call minutes (and in some cases this impacts data use as well) for many mobile plans can be used when using your phone in that area and you will be charged higher roaming rates when using your phone elsewhere in Canada (even if you’re on your home network). Most Canadian mobile carriers will also charge you for incoming as well as outgoing calls, meaning that your included call minutes will last only half as long as you expect.
Canada is a great country to visit and we recommend Must Do Canada as a resource to help you plan your trip. This website highlights the top things to see and do each province and also includes advice on things like whale watching near Vancouver and where to see the best views of Niagara Falls.

Q. I am a 54-year-old postal worker in CSRS with 28.5 years in and a retirement date of April 2013. I still lack approximately 3.5 years to get my quarters in for Social Security. When I worked before the post office, I probably averaged about $3 an hour for the quarters I have in. I heard about the penalty involving Social Security because of me being CSRS, but do not quite understand. Would it be worth it for me to go back to work after I retire somewhere else just to get my quarters?
A. While the windfall elimination provision would reduce your Social Security benefit, it wouldn’t eliminate it. The decision is yours to make.

A LITTLE HUMOR WHILE WE ARE SHELTERED-AT-HOME.
Half of us are going to come out of this quarantine as amazing cooks. The other half will come out with a drinking problem.
I used to spin that toilet paper like I was on Wheel of Fortune. Now I turn it like I'm cracking a safe.
I need to practice social-distancing from the refrigerator.
Still haven't decided where to go for Easter ----- The Living Room or The Bedroom
PSA: every few days try your jeans on just to make sure they fit. Pajamas will have you believe all is well in the kingdom.
Homeschooling is going well. 2 students suspended for fighting and 1 teacher fired for drinking on the job.
I don't think anyone expected that when we changed the clocks we'd go from Standard Time to the Twilight Zone
This morning I saw a neighbor talking to her cat. It was obvious she thought her cat understood her. I came into my house, told my dog..... we laughed a lot.
So, after this quarantine.....will the producers of My 600 Pound Life just find me or do I find them?
Quarantine Day 5: Went to this restaurant called THE KITCHEN. You have to gather all the ingredients and make your own meal. I have no clue how this place is still in business.
My body has absorbed so much soap and disinfectant lately that when I pee it cleans the toilet.
Day 5 of Homeschooling: One of these little monsters called in a bomb threat.
I'm so excited --- it's time to take out the garbage. What should I wear?
I hope the weather is good tomorrow for my trip to Puerto Backyarda. I'm getting tired of Los Livingroom.
Classified Ad: Single man with toilet paper seeks woman with hand sanitizer for good clean fun.
Day 6 of Homeschooling: My child just said "I hope I don't have the same teacher next year".... I'm offended.
Better 6 feet apart than 6 feet under.
Thanks to Victoria Waahington

Ca2+ ATPase D. 1 C. A decreased extracellular K+ concentration will result in hyperpolarization of the nerve. Because potassium is the major intracellular cation in nerves, major alterations in the body’s store of potassium can have a significant effect on the resting membrane potential of the nerve and thus its ability to propagate electrical signals. From the Nernst equation, we can easily see that decreasing the extracellular K+ concentration will result in a larger negative value for the resting membrane potential for potassium.

Homeless pople have it tough, while they are desperate for food and shelter, one thing they really need but never ask for is someone to talk to and have a conversation with to feel like a human.
One woman found out that hey boyfriend was homeless for a few months in his life after he left home because of his abusive parent. He was fortunate enough to have other family and friends to stay with but he still never held at home. One thing that helped him through it all was having someone to speak to.
Anytime he is on the streets and notices a homeless person, he will sit with them for a while and strike up a conversation, just to make them feel cared for and treated like normal human beings.

I am a business consultant.
I have read this thread with interest and wish to share my reaction:
a) On the face of it, it seems that the original inventor has genuine causes for grievance. On moral grounds, he deserves a sympathetic hearing. On the legal grounds, I would leave this matter up to the Courts to decide.
No one - not even a lawyer or a judge - can claim that he knows all the issues and that he can make a judgement.
b) Consequently, I do not understand why some people here want to act as Sean's mouthpieces in this matter.
Actually, Sean should discourage this rather than agreeing to their declarations.
For instance, it was claimed that the inventor is somehow making disparaging comments supposedly based on lies or libel. In thruth, the only insults I have read here come from the so-called 'mouthpieces' representing Sean.
If I were Sean, I would not have agreed that these mouthpieces portray his position correctly. The only correct position is that communicated through the lawyer.
c) One more thing: If these mouthpieces are linked to Sean in some way, then it would be fairer to declare this outright. It strikes me as grossly devious and/or unfair to represent that your opinion is independent whilst all you have to say goes in favour of one party.
I trust this matter will be resolved amicably and fairly, out of the Courts. Sometimes, all it takes is to say some nice words to the other party. It usually works a lot better than heavy handed threats.
Regards to all,

New American Standard Bible
When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they raised their voice, saying in the Lycaonian language, "The gods have become like men and have come down to us."
King James Bible
And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men.
Darby Bible Translation
But the crowds, who saw what Paul had done, lifted up their voices in Lycaonian, saying, The gods, having made themselves like men, are come down to us.
World English Bible
When the multitude saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, saying in the language of Lycaonia, "The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!"
Young's Literal Translation
and the multitudes having seen what Paul did, did lift up their voice, in the speech of Lycaonia, saying, 'The gods, having become like men, did come down unto us;'
Acts 14:11 Parallel
CommentaryBarnes' Notes on the Bible
They lifted up their voices - They spoke with astonishment, such as might be expected when it was supposed that the gods had come down.
In the speech of Lycaonia - What this language was has much perplexed commentators. It was probably a mixture of the Greek and Syriac. In that region generally the Greek was usually spoken with more or less purity; and from the fact that it was not far from the regions of Syria, it is probable that the Greek language was corrupted with this foreign admixture.
The gods ... - All the region was idolatrous. The gods which were worshipped there were those which were worshipped throughout Greece.
Are come down - The miracle which Paul had performed led them to suppose this. It was evidently beyond human ability, and they had no other way of accounting for it than by supposing that their gods had personally appeared.
In the likeness of men - Many of their gods were heroes, whom they worshipped after they were dead. It was a common belief among them that the gods appeared to people in human form. The poems of Homer, of Virgil, etc., are filled with accounts of such appearances, and the only way in which they supposed the gods to take knowledge of human affairs, and to help people, was by their personally appearing in this form. See Homer's Odyssey, xvii. 485; Catullus, 64, 384; Ovid's Metamorph., i. 212 (Kuinoel). Thus, Homer says:
"For in similitude of strangers oft.
The gods, who can with ease all shapes assume,
Repair to populous cities, where they mark.
Th' outrageous and the righteous deeds of men."
LibraryDeified and Stoned
'And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men. 12. And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker. 13. Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people. 14. Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among …

Jew and Gentile
The Sovereignty of God in Reprobation
"For you are not being sent to a people of unintelligible speech or difficult language, but to the house of Israel,
and they all, from smallest to greatest, were giving attention to him, saying, "This man is what is called the Great Power of God."
they became aware of it and fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra and Derbe, and the surrounding region;
And they began calling Barnabas, Zeus, and Paul, Hermes, because he was the chief speaker.
But they were expecting that he was about to swell up or suddenly fall down dead. But after they had waited a long time and had seen nothing unusual happen to him, they changed their minds and began to say that he was a god.

…but that’s not always the case. Chris Hexton explains…
Should Atlassian have thrived in Sydney? How did Noma become the best restaurant in the world, in Denmark?
These people broke the rules, and so can you.
There are three things that can empower you to start a company with major growth potential, no matter where you are:
- A global focus. When you’re driving a car at speed if you focus directly on an object, it’s likely you’ll hit it. Similarly, if you’re focused on being the best in your home market, that’s what you’ll be. If, however, you dream of being the best in the world from day one, you’re much more likely to find a way to turn this dream into practical steps that lead to reality.
- Access to the tools you need. Technology has changed the way we work. “Work” is now an action, not a place. This means that with a fast net connection and some elbow grease, you can serve clients all over the world from your home town, wherever that may be. Invest in the other tools you need to be successful – top-of-the-line computers, video conferencing gear, high-end software and most importantly, people. The right team can raise your company to new levels time and time again.
- A passion for where you live. If you aren’t happy, it’s nearly impossible to succeed at building a business. In order to maintain the necessary motivation and drive, it’s key to spend your time in a place you love. Whether that’s San Francisco, Sydney, Stockholm or Shanghai, the right atmosphere will fuel you with energy.
A big part of this decision was that we had committed to bootstrapping Vero and needed as much support as we could get from friends, family and the home city we knew and loved.
Over a year later, we’re more than happy with how things have turned out and how bright the future looks. The biggest fear we had before we returned to Australia was that people wouldn’t take us seriously.
After all, ”Why would customers in Europe or the US care about someone from Australia?”
It turns out that if you deliver a product that people want and customer service that impresses, customers don’t get hung up on location.
Moreover, we don’t act like we’re solely interested in Australian customers. In fact, we think big.
Everything we do – from marketing and customer support to development and strategy – is designed to help grow Vero into one of the world’s key email service providers. We wonder how we can build a template editor as good as Mailchimp’s, an audience as inspired as KISSmetrics’ and revenue as quickly as Dropbox.
Keeping a global attitude can be hard when you’re not ‘in the thick of it’ but there are a few things that have helped us keep our eyes on the prize:
- Competitors around the globe. From San Francisco to Paris, Vero has competitors that we respect. Keeping the fire alive and challenging us to grow as fast as (and even faster) than these great companies is a huge help in terms of ambition and global focus.
- The hunt for customers on the cutting edge. At Vero, customers that spend time exploring how email can grow their business are a pleasure to work with. Finding customers that want to push the boundaries usually means looking to the global leaders, regardless of where they’re located. We have amazing customers in Berlin, New York, Mexico and Israel, and we’ve seen first hand just how smart people are. These customers are located in some of the world’s most exciting cities and they inspire us each and every day.
- An open mind. Is it cool to have customers in Berlin that have more customers than the entire population of Australia? Damn right it’s cool. Is it cool to have built something that helps them connect with these customers? We live in a crazy, high-speed, global world and you need to embrace every minute of it.
You need to be in a place that has everything you need.
If you’re a 23-year-old bootstrapping the dream, this might be your parent’s basement for a while. If you need $2 million, then you’re going to need investors. If you need a tech team of four, then you’ll have to find them.
Where can you best get the resources you need? At home, abroad, somewhere cheaper? I remember reading an article in Monocle advocating the pros of starting a company in your home city. The statistics suggested success rates were generally higher, as founders can get what they need from trusted connections they have made throughout their lives.
There is no doubt that legal, tax, employment and other advice has been easy for me to find at Vero here in Sydney: never more than a single phone call away. This has helped us immensely to date.
A passion for where you live
When my co-founder, Damien, sent me this photo a few mornings ago – and this is just around the corner from where he lives – it was a reminder of the passion and joy he has for where he lives (sunny Manly, in Sydney).
There is an important distinction between ‘comfortable’ and ‘complacent’. You constantly need to find ways to raise the bar but, when so much of this comes motivating forces like customers, competitors and even an entrepreneurs internal fire to prove they can win, it’s important to live in a place you love, not hate.
This could be San Francisco or New York City, it could be Sydney or London, or it could even be Chang Mai. There comes a time in any business where most people can’t work 16 hour days every day. Rest is important (science says so, as does common sense). Being somewhere you can do the things you love, such as surfing in the morning, makes for happier people.

Scientists swap metallic coils, classically used to treat aneurysms and uncontrolled hemorrhaging, with a a hydrogel that can hold its shape within a blood vessel to prevent bleeding.
The agent, tagged a shear-thinning biomaterial, is similar to toothpaste in consistency and is made up of both gelatin and nanoparticles. The research by a team of scientists led by Ali Khademhosseini, from Brigham and Women’s Hospital and the department of physics, King Abdulaziz University, Saudi Arabia, developed the agent to overcome the limitations of the coils. In 47% of patients on blood thinning medications or in those who cannot form blood clots, dangerous break-through bleeding, with rebleeding, occurs when the coils are inserted into their blood vessels.
The new biomaterial doesn’t rely on the formation of blood clots to obstruct the vessel and halt bleeding. It can also withstand high pressure, and naturally degrades over time. It was tested on porcine models, whose blood vessels have similar dimensions to human’s. And the scientists plan to test it on humans next.
“This work is an example of how bioengineering can help address the challenges that clinicians and patients face,” says Khademhosseini of the research, published this month in Science Translational Medicine. “Our work thus far has been in the lab, but we are on a translational path to bring this new biomaterial for embolization to the clinic to improve patient care.”

Tell tale heart quotes about death
The Tell-Tale Heart and Other Writings Quotes by Edgar Allan Poe
The Tell-Tale Heart
You can also use these quotes for this literary quotes assignment. The disease had sharpened my senses — not destroyed — not dulled them. His actions and words, however, do not support this claim, as he contends he hears voices from hell and from inside the walls. Oh, he also kills an old man, chops him up, and hides him under the floor. Feel free to check out "The Tell-Tale Heart" lesson plans page. It's got some great lesson ideas. Or you could opt for the deluxe "Tell-Tale Heart" unit plan.
Print this page. Print Version. The disease had sharpened my senses -- not destroyed -- not dulled them. Above all was the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell. How, then, am I mad?

It has not been in the pursuit of pleasure that I have periled life and reputation and reason. It has been the desperate attempt to escape from torturing memories, from a sense of insupportable loneliness and a dread of some strange impending doom. Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door — Only this, and nothing more.
I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye forever. The fact that the man is old, and probably near death anyway, makes this bitterly ironic. To die is one thing, but to grow old, to spend the final years hated and despised is another. All in vain; because Death, in approaching him had stalked with his black shadow before him, and enveloped the victim. This is a curiously structured sentence.
The victim was an old man with a filmy "vulture-eye", as the narrator calls it. The narrator emphasizes the careful calculation of the murder, attempting the perfect crime, complete with dismembering and hiding the body under the floorboards. Ultimately, the narrator's feelings of guilt, or a mental disturbance, result in hearing a thumping sound, which the narrator interprets as the dead man's beating heart. The specific motivation for murder aside from the narrator's dislike of the old man's eye , the relationship between narrator and old man, the gender of the narrator and other details are left unclear. The narrator denies having any feelings of hatred or resentment for the man who had, as stated, never wronged the narrator. The narrator also denies having killed for greed.
Detectives capture a man who admits to the killing of the old man with a strange eye. The murder is carefully planned, and the killer killed the old man's by pulling his bed on top of the man and hiding the body under the floor. The killer feels guilty about the murder, and the guilt makes him imagine that he can hear the dead man's heart still beating under the floor. No one knows if the old man and the killer are related. Some people think that the old man is a father figure.

The Dash display seems to show almost full time AWD . I had it to dodge but they cant explain it and there is no problem. I am not shore when it is in AWD or not…Can you help to remedies this. Also my gas mileage is 17.5MPG on my six.?
How cold has it been when you noticed it is in AWD? That car has a sensor that enables AWD based on temp.
Are you asking if that is what your vehicle gets or telling that is what it gets ? Your vehicle is rated at up to ( key words ) 19 city and 30 highway . If that is not good enough for you then you bought the wrong vehicle.
I have a 2009 Challenger with the 5.7L V8, RWD only. It gets around 22 MPG in mixed driving, though it’s done as well as 26 MPG on the highway.
If I had a 2019 with a V6 getting only 17.5 MPG, I’d be concerned. I can’t speak to the AWD piece, though.
The AWD system in the Charger/Challenger is a bit unusual. It has a front axle disconnect and only engages when certain criteria are met ,wheel slip/spin is detected, the ambient temperature is below 45 degrees and/or the windshield wipers are turned on high. Also the Challenger is a heavyweight, particularly with AWD, and the V6 has it’s work cut out for it moving the car around. So fuel mileage isn’t going to be stellar. The AWD model is rated for 18 City/ 27 Highway. If you live where it’s cold and take mainly short trips around town 17.5 MPG is realistic.

Twenty-two-year-old Anchorage hiker Ben Seaman can be thankful it is summer and the weather is friendly because in the mountains of Alaska help is often far away even if it appears close.
By all indications a fit young guy – someone tough enough to finish Resurrection Pass Ultra 50-miler run last year – Seaman ran into trouble on a Chugach Mountain ridge high above the Seward Highway about 30 miles east of Anchorage late Tuesday afternoon.
He was close enough to civilization to watch a steady summer stream of motor vehicles rushing along Turnagain Arm on the way from Anchorage to the now fish-crazed Kenai Peninsula or vice versa, and far enough away to make rescue difficult.
Seaman and an unidentified hiking companion were able to call 911 on a mobile phone, according to the Alaska National Guard.
In that respect, he was luckier than Vladimir Yakushin, an East Coast man now suing the satellite-service Globalstar because of what he claims was unreliable service in 2016. Yakushin was flown into a remote Alaska lake where he hoped to homestead.
Almost immediately, he realized the homesteading plan wasn’t going to work. Wanting out, he tried to call an air taxi to come get him. Calling a taxi was the most normal thing in the world for a thirty-something man who’d been living in New York City before starting his Alaska adventure.
Unfortunately, Yakushin’s satellite phone didn’t work. Why is sure to be a major issue at trial if his lawsuit ever goes that far because the unworkable phone produced an avalanche of consequences.
Yakushin panicked at being alone in the wilderness and decided to undertake a hugely misguided attempt at self-rescue. Had an Alaska Department of Fish and Game biologist failed to spot the man floating down an Alaska Range river in a marginal raft, Yakushin might well have died.
As it was, he was rescued as was Seaman….eventually.
Suffice to say that if Seaman had suffered life-threatening injuries in the fall, he might well be dead after spending Tuesday night high on the 3,000 to 4,000-foot Penguin Ridge between the small, ski-resort community of Girdwood and the even smaller, roadside community of Bird.
The website Hiking Project accurately describes a 16-mile hiking route along the ridge as “a grueling traverse across one of the most majestic ridgelines along the Turnagain Arm.” The author has done it twice and can attest there are several places where it would be easy to fall and twist an ankle, break a leg or worse.
Hiking Projects classes the trail “extremely difficult.” That might be a bit of an overstatement, but as William Finley notes at AK Mountain, there are “a couple places where you really have to be careful. That said…it is definitely 3rd class in spots and those unfamiliar with steep scrambling on loose Chugach rock may find it challenging.”
Seaman did not respond to a Facebook message asking him for details on how he got into trouble. Troopers said they sent a state helicopter out to look for him in the late afternoon on Tuesday, but “could not locate the hiker due to poor weather.
“LifeMed was unable to respond due to weather,” the trooper dispatch added. “The Rescue Coordination Center did not have any air assets available until the next morning.”
LifeMed Alaska is an air ambulance service that has two helicopters based in Southcentral Alaska that are “medically configured as flying hospital intensive care units designed for providing critical care and advanced life support,” according to the company website.
The Alaska Rescue Coordination Center at Joint Base Elmendorf Richardson is a full-time, U.S. military-led, command center for search and rescue (SAR) missions in Alaska. If asked by Troopers, who have the authority over civilian SAR missions in the state, the RCC has the authority to dispatch the fabled pararescuemen from the Rescue Squadrons of the Alaska National Guard.
Among the best SAR units in the world, the 210th, 211th and 212th are renowned for pulling injured people out of bad spots in the 49th state, which is what the 212th PJs did at approximately 5 a.m. today with help from the crew of a National Guard Pavehawk helicopter.
“Military air assets became available and extracted the injured hiker from the ridge top and transported him to a local hospital for treatment” is how troopers put it, although the mission was a little tricker than that.
Fortunately for Seaman, the weather was good this morning. He was lucky. Had it been otherwise, he could still be up on the mountain because even when your technology can reach rescuers in Alaska, there is no guarantee rescuers can reach you.
That is why most SAR organizations recommend everyone going into remote or hard to access areas carry with them certain essential items with an eye to “two basic questions,” as Grand Country (Colo.) Search and Rescue puts it. “First, can you respond positively to an accident or emergency? Second, can you safely spend a night—or more—out?”

Numbers play an important role in our daily lives. We are all under the influence of numbers through our names, addresses, time, money, addresses, telephones, keyboards, tapes, security numbers, bank accounts, elevators etc. Living without numbers is very difficult for human beings. Though the effect these numbers have on us cannot be seen or felt by us, these numbers do have an enormous effect on our lives, that’s the theory behind Numerology.
Numerology, as the name denotes, is the prediction of the future of the human beings using numbers. It is believed that each number has a meaning of its own and has its own influences on people.
Using the practical application of the elementary laws of mathematics to the material existence of man, Numerology helps us to have a glimpse of our future. It is similar to Astrology but is easier than the latter. Numerology uses numbers to denote objects which influence people in the universe while Astrology uses the objects itself such as the sun, the moon and the planets which influence the life of human beings significantly. Numerology deals with Sun, Moon, Jupiter, Uranus, Mercury, Venus, Neptune, Saturn and Mars which are denoted by numbers from 1 to 9 respectively. The date of birth of the person and his name is used to calculate the numerological influence on a person. It is also said that the influence of numbers changes from time to time.

Driver assembly targets .NET Framework. Your driver assembly must target .NET Core 3
OK, I have the newest LinqPad6 licensed edition which uses .net-core 3. That is great, except for one thing: most of the DB drivers don't work anymore giving the above (quite clear) answer. Am I missing a list of updated drivers or a "switch" somewhere, or do I have to just install 2 versions of LinqPad?

The Borne Supremacy
HIGH Charging up an axe attack that stuns large dudes so I can rip their innards out. Neat!
LOW The Chalice Dungeons look and feel almost identical no matter which variations are triggered.
WTF The 'real' ending. Who thought that would be a satisfying conclusion to a forty-plus hour adventure?
Bloodborne primarily takes place in the Victorian-era City of Yharnam on the eve of a 'Hunt'—an event which draws Hunters to the city with the aim of chopping any inhabitant afflicted by some strange curse into chunks.
I think? It's not entirely clear to me, even multiple playthroughs later. That shouldn't be a surprise given that it's a From Software game helmed by Hidetaka Miyazaki, and a natural follow up to the wildly successful 'Souls' series of adventure games.
The core rules have changed. Combat is faster than ever, with shields dropped almost entirely from the formula and replaced with more modern accompaniments—shotguns, pistols and the occasional flamethrower. Most of these are essentially useless as damage dealers, and are instead used to interrupt, parry or goad enemies into attacking. As such, melee-based savagery is still the order of the day when it comes to wiping out enemies.
To help sustain this more aggressive approach to combat, there's now a rallying system where significant chunks of lost health can be recovered by going back in and hacking away at foes rather than backing up and popping a healing item. I'm not saying it adds up to a better combat system than the core Souls series since the nervous tension of deflecting blows off a shield as stamina drains is missing entirely, but it's damn good, and provides a notably new experience for returning players.
Also new is the inclusion of transforming implements, known as Trick Weapons. These have various forms and functions, such as snapping open to increase their attack range, or shortening down to allow for rapid face-chopping. There's a decent variety on offer from massive, unrealistically huge hammers with detachable swords, to canes with a bladed whip hiding inside. These forms can be fluidly swapped mid-fight, though longer, slower attacks only work on AI opponents. Attempting heavy attacks on humans will generally result in getting creamed, which limits combat options somewhat. Still, they look awesome and feel satisfying to wield.
When a good combat encounter with these elements in place happens, Bloodborne absolutely shines. Dashing between enemies while flailing away, avoiding musket blasts that narrowly whip past, charging up an axe spin that splatters a group of enemies in one shot… Man, it's good stuff.
However, despite the push for faster action in Bloodborne, playing it smart and assessing situations before leaping in is still the key to victory, just as it was in Souls. The game has a nasty fondness for large groups of enemies, and getting hammered by a mob all at once is always going to hurt, usually in quite a fatal manner.
So what are the downsides of this ghastly adventure? Well, loading times upon release were absurd, but they've been recently patched to be shorter. On the other hand, having to travel to the Hunter's Dream and back again in order to level up, visit the shop or enhance any equipment is still a waste of time. Most players will require frequent supply runs at the beginning now that there's no Estus equivalent of replenishing healing items, and that means more back-and-forthing instead of just playing.
An issue larger than my annoyance with making too many stops is that there's simply less to discover than in the Souls series. NPCs generally have less to their sidequests, many areas feel more linear, and character builds have been overly-streamlined—by the end of my first run there was nothing I wanted to modify in my character, unlike traditional Souls titles where trying out magical or faith-based builds was a good incentive to replay.
Looking at the environments, they're usually awesome to behold in an artistic sense, yet they're a touch too similar for the most part. From the start of the game it takes a long time for the everything-is-grey Victorian Gothic to bleed out into something new, and the Chalice Dungeons are about as visually dull as a thing can be. It's shameful, given the artistic talent on display throughout the rest of the game.
As a fan of Souls who was burnt by the relentless, unflinching mediocrity of Dark Souls 2, I wasn't sure what to expect from Bloodborne, and my expectations going in were severely and firmly reined in. Turns out there was little to be concerned about—a few questionable deviations from tradition aside, From Software have once again produced an excellent adventure which can easily be recommended to newcomers and veterans alike, though the differences that newcomers may find rewarding might be a bit of a turn-off to veterans. As for me? I loved it. Bring on the next hunt.
Disclosures: This game was obtained via digital download and reviewed on the Playstation 4. Approximately 85 hours of play was devoted to single-player modes (completed 3 times, platinum achieved) and online was enabled at all times.
Parents: According to the ESRB, this game contains blood, gore and violence. And corpses. Mounds of corpses, and umbilical cords and all sorts of non-child friendly imagery.
Deaf & Hard of Hearing: There's a ton of ambient sound that needs to be processed in order to react fully to the environment—screams, cries and the cracks of muskets are only a few of the things that precede incoming attacks, and without them reacting would be very difficult indeed.
The chance discovery of a muddy, burnt out copy of '50 Shades of Grey' in a hunting pit gave him an appreciation for complex plots, characters and overarching narrative, and the unexpected gift of a Spectrum 48k allowed him to indulge in these newfound sensibilities with intelligent, highbrow games such as 'flee from the badly animated spinning turquoise dolphins' or 'avoid the deadly glowing bricks of doom'.
The fusion of both these interests finally culminated with Darren teaching himself how to write by basically guessing at what words might look like when jotted down on paper as opposed to being howled inarticulately at the skies.
Now others occasionally get to read his scribblings. Lucky them.

Sunday marks the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, and there has been no shortage of ways to remember the historic event. In addition to the re-release of Titanic the movie in 3D, a reenactment cruise of the luxury liner left Southampton, England earlier this week, and is retracing the original route of that the Titanic took, including a visit to the spot in the Atlantic where the boat sank.
But like the ship whose journey it's honoring, the Titanic Memorial Cruise got off to an ominous start. Passengers dressed in period clothing-- many of whom had relatives who were aboard the 1912 ship--departed for a week of lectures and events about the Titanic, but just a day into the trip the boat was forced to turn around and dock at a port on the Irish Coast so that a sick passenger could be airlifted to a nearby hospital. When the ship finally set sail again, they were delayed due to poor weather conditions.

But despite the rocky start, it's been smooth sailing and after stopping at the spot in the Atlantic where the Titanic hit the iceberg, the ship will continue onto New York-- which was where the original Titanic was headed, and where many people who survived the shipwreck took refuge in the days after the accident.
Though now The Jane Hotel is one of the city's best nightlife spots, it served a different purpose in 1912, when it was the temporary home to many of the Titanic's survivors. Then called the American Seamen’s Friend Society Sailors’ Home and Institute, it made sense for survivors to stay here, according to Andrew Berman, the executive director of the Greenwich Village Society for Historical Preservation.
[The Jane Hotel, photo via]
"One of the identifying characteristics of the building is this wonderful octagonal tower in the corner which used to have a light beacon on top so it looked like a lighthouse, it both symbolically and practically was meant to be a place that sort of called out to sailors as a safe port. And in this case, it was a safe port for the crew members of the Titanic who were rescued from the disaster."
On a recent Thursday, Titanic historians and other people who were interested in the Jane's role in the historic sinking gathered in the Jane Ballroom to learn more about the sailors who lived at the Jane in the weeks following the accident. More than 700 people were rescued from the Titanic and brought to New York through Pier 54, and now, 100 years later, the very spot that they called home is still part of New Yorker's lives.

As a hiring manager throughout my career, I’ve reviewed thousands and thousands of resumes. I’ve seen it all. From no cover letter at all, to illegible cover letters in 6-point yellow Comic Sans type, I remain baffled by the overwhelmingly poor quality of applicant materials. (For the record, neither received consideration.)
Why are the cover letter and resume — the dynamic duo of making a great first impression — treated with disdain by so many communicators looking for their next hot job?
Here are nine guidelines to follow if you want your application to remain on top of the pile.
- Include a cover letter, always. In my experience, some 60% to 70% of job applicants don’t include one. I disqualify anyone without a cover letter, even if their resume is stellar. Embrace this golden chance to explain why you’re the best candidate or why the job excites you. This is the first chance to show off your writing skills, so make it count (and exhibit a bit of your personality too)! In short: No cover letter, no consideration. No kidding.
- Address your cover letter to a person and use proper business cover letter format. If you don’t have an individual’s name, “Dear Hiring Manager” is a great way to start. Without this, your first sentence comes across as yelling to a stranger.
- Refer to the correct company or organization. I’ve received applications intended for other institutions and businesses. Do your homework and show that you want the position. And don’t forget to proofread!
- Use proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation. This sounds obvious, but you’d be shocked to see low quality writing … for a communications job.
- Make the connection obvious. If you have a connection to the place you’re applying, go ahead and talk about it. Use it as an opportunity to explain why you’re excited about the position. For example, if you’re an alumnus/a of the institution, talk about how eager you are to work at your alma mater.
- Don’t be boring. For any job in communications (well, any job), great writing is an absolutely essential skill. If your cover letter takes me straight to Snoozetown, that makes me wonder if all of your writing is boring.
- Position yourself as the solution. Resist the temptation to have a Mad-Libs cover letter, simply filling in the blanks with the name of company and name of job. Use it as an opportunity to show what you know about the organization or better yet, how you can solve the problems presented in the job description.
- Follow the directions. Every organization seems to have a different recruiting platform and it’s worth your time to read the instructions. For example, my organization asks for a cover letter, references, and salary requirements. Although I won’t call references just yet, I take special note of the applicants who follow directions and supply them up front. (P.S.: If you don’t want to disclose your salary requirements, you still need to address it somehow in your cover letter. That shows that you are paying attention.)
- Use a professional font. Every job applicant has their favorite fun font, but you can never go wrong with tried-and-true, easy-to-read standards like Times or Helvetica at 10 to 12 points. Please don’t make me pull out a microscope. Please don’t use a color that’s hard to read. And, please don’t use a whimsical font like Comic Sans or Papyrus. You’re applying for a role in professional communications, not in a preschool.
Hiring managers: what tips would you add to this list based on your experiences?
Kristi Turnbaugh is senior director of marketing communications at Columbia College Chicago. Her team is currently looking to hire a Communications Manager, if you want to put these tips to work!

- Where I had huge success, I had narrowed my concentration to one thing
- Extraordinary results are directly determined by how narrow you can make your focus
Myth: Everything matters equally
- Go small: don’t focus on being busy, focus on being productive. Allow what matters most to drive your day
- Go Extreme: Once you’ve found what matters, keep asking what matters most until there is only 1 thing left. This is your core activity
- Recognize that checking off a to do list leads to attempting to accomplishing everything and achieving nothing.
- You can do two things at once, but you can’t focus effectively on two things at once
- If you try doing too much at once, you end up doing nothing well. Figure out what matters most and give it your undivided attention
Myth: A Disciplined Life
- You need discipline just long enough for habit to kick in so we don’t think about it
- Habit makes the hard stuff easy
- It is the mental barriers, the perceived difficulty, rather than the task that is difficult. Mini habits lower this barrier
Myth: Unlimited Willpower, Willpower at Will Call
- Every decision drains our mental capacity
- Do what matters most first when willpower is at its highest, ie. in the morning
- Life is a question and how we live it is our answer
- What is the one thing I can do such that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary?
- Your actions become a natural progression of building one right thing atop a previous right thing, a domino effect
- The Focus Question is 2 fold:
- Big Picture: Finding the right direction in life (Leadership)
- Small Focus: Finding the right action (Management)
- It keeps you focused on what’s most important
Living With Purpose:
- Happiness is found on the way to fulfillment
- Purpose is the one thing you want in life found through the Focus Question
Living By Priority:
- When you’re purposely going somewhere, there will always be something you “should do”
Goal Setting to the Now:
- Someday Goal: What’s the One Thing I want to do someday?
- 5 Year Goal: Based on my Someday Goal, what’s the One Thing I can do in the next 5 years.
- 1 Year Goal: Based on my 5 Year Goal, what’s the One Thing I can do this year?
- Monthly Goal: Based on my 1 Year Goal, what’s the One Thing I can do this month?
- Weekly Goal: Based on my Monthly Goal, what’s the One Thing I can do this week?
- Daily Goal: Based on my Weekly Goal, what’s the One Thing I can do today?
- Right Now: Based on my Daily Goal, what’s the One Thing I can do right now?
- Everything worthwhile that was ever accomplished required through planning, begin achieving now by reverse engineering your biggest goal into the smallest actionable step
- Create your domino effect, one step, one punch, one round at a time
- Connect today with all your tomorrows. It matters
- Train your mind on how to think, how to connect one goal with the next over time until you know the most important thing you must do right now. Think big, but go small
Live for Productivity:
- Block out a portion of your workday dedicated to exclusively working on your One Thing
- Preferably in the morning, when your willpower is highest
- You need just enough discipline to make it a habit and keep it a habit
Commitment and Master
- Time on a task, over time, eventually beats talent every time
- The path of mastering something is the combination of not only doing the best you can do, but also doing it the best it can be done
- Remember that when you say yes to something, you’re saying no to everything else.

#Mars #NASA #ScienceVision2050 #space #solarwind
A computer modeling experiment suggests that we can use a spacecraft to create a magnetic field around Mars, shielding it from the solar wind that’s stripping its thin atmosphere away, oxygen ion by oxygen ion.
If we are somehow able to shield Mars from the Solar wind, and if the above theory proves to be correct, Then it will be possible to melt the planet’s polar ice caps and bring back some liquid water to the Martian surface.
The proposal was presented at NASA’s planetary Science Vision 2050 Workshop.
However, this experiment has its limitations. While computer modeling is a good option in place of practical experiments, it also means that this kind of mission is far from a sure thing.

It seems that such attitudes have been given a new lease of life, and what was once said in the company of close friends behind closed doors is now once again aired publically.
Many people who adhere to these views and are comfortable using discriminatory and offensive language say that it’s ‘PC gone mad’.
Yet I don’t know of anyone who likes to be insulted or offended, not even the most ardent chauvinist. Being a member of a privileged minority, who has historically oppressed and subjugated so many people over the last several hundred years, gives some people a false sense of entitlement. We thought that this had come to an end. What we are seeing, hopefully, is the dying throes of these last vestiges of imperialism and supremacy.
However the current climate certainly does seem to have given people a license to offend. Couple this with social media – where some people believe that they can say whatever they want – and it’s a dangerous mix.
I was so shocked to read some of the tweets from one particular individual, that I felt compelled to share them. These tweets come from someone who openly associates himself with UKIP, a political party which has seven Assembly Members and one Member of the European Parliament, elected in Wales by the people of Wales.
Does UKIP agree with this individual? Do these tweets represent their official view? What is the view of UKIP in Arfon? Nathan Gill? Neil Hamilton?
We need to know if what he says is a reflection of the organisations which he purports to represent, especially UKIP, so that people can make an informed decision on whom they would like to represent them on the political stage.
These are just some of the tweets.
“…I mourn the passing of the gas chamber…”
“They say he’s going to bring back slavery. Jolly good”
“At what point, I wonder, do we consider launching the KKK as a British Political Party?”
“Britain has been invaded since 1963 and to date at least three major cities have fallen to the black flood.”
“Life must be simpler when we simply discriminated. Oh, for the old days.”
Paul Nuttall? Suzanne Evans? Neil Hamilton? Nathan Gill?

5G base station installed on Mount Everest
In what could have been dismissed as THE April Fool spoof of 2020, China Mobile and Huawei have announced they are installing a 5G base station on Mount Everest.
So there will soon be no excuse whatsoever for not posting a 4K Ultra HD video on Instagram when you next stand on top of the world’s highest mountain. It is being connected to a Gigabit optical fibre network enabling China Mobile to run its dual Gigabit network on the planet’s highest spot.
That sound you hear is Sir Edmund Hillary spinning.
The base station will be 6500 metres high and is claimed to enable download speed s of more than 1.66 GB, with an upload speed topping 215 Mbps. You’ll need a fast upload speed. That queue of climbers behind you means you can only stay on the summit for a few minutes. Do not reply on Mobile News to conduct a field test to check these speed claims.
Everest base camp is at 5,300 metres and will get 5G at a speed of 1.43Gbps. Huawei’s press release says this makes it “possible even for families and businesses to enjoy super-fast internet access at such high altitudes” (although Mobile News is not fully convinced many families and businesses plan to holiday or re-locate to Everest base camp).
Maintenance and optimization will be done by a dozen network specialists camped full time at altitudes of 5,300m and above “to ensure smooth network operations”.
For the technical among you, the Huawei’s Massive MIMO has “highly flexible three-dimensional narrow beams” said to work particularly well vertically on Mount Everest. Huawei’s 5G AAU is highly integrated and compact making it easy for deployment and installation.
“It’s particularly ideal for extreme environments such as Mount Everest. In this project, a network in the “stand-alone plus non-stand alone” (SA+NSA) mode connects five 5G base stations. Meanwhile, the 5G fast and huge-capacity connectivity is achieved by Huawei’s Massive MIMO technology, supporting lightning speed and large bandwidth. Huawei’s Massive MIMO is highly reliable and provides excellent coverage. With its highly flexible three-dimensional narrow beams, the technology works particularly well vertically on Mount Everest. At an altitude of 5,300 metres, the 5G download speed exceeds 1.66 Gbps, with an upload speed topping 215 Mbps.
“Meanwhile, high quality and reliable networks are guaranteed by Huawei’s Intelligent OptiX Network solutions, with the data-thirsty transfer of high-res videos, VR live broadcasts, supported by enterprise gateways with 1Gbps upstream/downstream connections. With its HoloSens intelligent video surveillance system, Huawei ensures streaming quality allowing optimisation and fault locating with just one click. This keeps the network stable at 6,500 metres, providing connectivity at the summit”.

I FINALLY hit the 500 mark! It’s taken over a year – but it’s worth celebrating! I was at the 500 mark, then lost a follower? But I gained a couple of more today!
So, THANK YOU!
Now that fall is here – which is obviously my favorite time of year – I’ve revamped this blog and changed up the colour schemes. I’ve always hated ultra white backgrounds as it’s hard on the eyes at night time. So, hopefully you find the website to be softer and more “fall” like.
I’m also working on some new banner art and other graphics and things. I’m trying to make the most out of the blog .
What do you think? Does it put you in a festive mood?
Fall is my favorite time for year for many reasons. Some you know already – but for my new readers – it’s worth sharing again!
The weather is cooler and we can bring out our fuzzy sweaters and my favorite pajama pants. There is nothing finer than sinking into bed and snuggling up under a warm comforter. Of course, a body would be nice at times – but you know how that goes!
Fall is beautiful
When I was in better shape, I would go for urban hikes with my camera. The River Valley is just so beautiful this time of year. The leaves turn brilliant shades of yellow, orange and crimson red. I get lost in the natural beauty.
Yes, the days are shorter. But cloudy and cool days are perfect for sweaters, hot chocolate, and snuggling up with a blanket while watching a movie on Netflix.
I love fall cooking – as you may have guessed with my sudden desire to get back into the kitchen. Casseroles. Soups – I made a delicious chicken noodle soup today and will share the recipe with you this weekend. I made a blueberry loaf the other night – and it’s GONE already.
I got brave and decided to try some baking. I’m not good with dough. My mother was the baker in the family and I spent hours watching her in the kitchen as a kid. I squealed when the scones I made yesterday came out nearly perfectly. My diet went out the window as I ate like five of them.
I love stews and casseroles. Butternut squash, zucchini muffins, beet stew, pasta casseroles — there’s just so many recipes out there to try.
I spent the entire afternoon in the kitchen. I was sweating by the end of it. My condo is nice and toasty warm after having the oven on for most of the day. And this chicken noodle soup – while it’s not perfect – it’s hearty and delicious.
So yes! I’m excited for fall. I have a whole bag of tomatoes in the fridge – what do you think I should make with them? Bruschetta? Or a casserole? The choices are literally endless.
Even though life gets busy in the fall with kids going back to school and parents going back to work – especially right now with COVID — for me – this time of year feels less hectic and less rushed. Maybe that’s because I’m not working right now.
The cool crisp air in the mornings is refreshing and reminds of being in the mountains. I love getting up early on Saturday mornings, sipping a hot cup of coffee and starting my day with some music.
I hope I can continue this routine when I go back to work in a few weeks.
Can you believe it’s September already? Where has the year gone? Time doesn’t slow down even when we’re at home. This time of year, makes me appreciate the days a little more.
For the month of September, I will be working on a “positive” challenge and thinking of all the things I’m thankful. I’ll be sharing things like poems, inspiring quote and art.
Thank you all so much for being here! If you’re a new reader, welcome! For long-time readers, THANK YOU. I appreciate all your comments and engagements – even if sometimes we disagree.
What’s your favorite thing about all?

Why You Should Know Him
There are songs that got washed away with the ‘80s, and songs that withstood the test of time and popular culture. Pertaining to the latter, Mick Jones is one of the most notable musicians and songwriters of that era and has a decorated collection of timeless songs (with awards to match) to prove that.
Foreigner hailed from New York City but was comprised equally of members from across the pond as well as American rockers. Jones came together in the big apple with Lou Gramm and Ian McDonald to do something new, and rounded up fellow Britt Dennis Elliott, along with Al Greenwood and Ed Gagliardi from the States.
When Jones created Foreigner, he was aiming to create something that wasn’t categorized yet. What he was looking for was a fusion of genres that blended American blues and country, mixed with British rock sounds and a little R&B influence. Whatever he tried to create, the result was a sound that became immediately identifiable as coming from this band.
With Foreigner, Jones helped to define (or redefine) what would be known as arena rock. His cultural influences that show through his songs are subtle but necessary for the execution of his style, and they exploit every aspect of the guitar. Not only was he known for his impeccable sound and tones, but Jones was also known for putting on quite the show.
Harking back to a time when stage theatrics were not only an added value, but also a necessity, he nearly lit his amp on fire during the song, “Hot Blooded,” after turning it up to 11 and giving it a nice kick.
Still not sure who the band, Foreigner, is? Some of their countless hits include “Double Vision,” “Juke Box Hero,” “Waiting For a Girl Like You,” and “Urgent.”
In addition to writing some of the most notable songs of a decade, he has also produced ten multi-platinum albums, been nominated for Grammies and Golden Globes, and is a recipient of the prestigious Ivor Novello Songwriter award. Mick Jones embodies classic rock guitar and was easily one of its standard bearers.
Jones wasn’t the king of complicated guitar rigs. Throughout the ‘80s, Jones used his custom ’57 black Gibson Les Paul. It was a standard three pickup guitar, except that he removed the middle pickup completely. That particular model also had switches which would let him take the signal directly from the pickup to the amp, bypassing the volume and tone control for maximum output gain.
He also used a blonde Gibson j200 acoustic guitar, and a tobacco sunburst Les Paul later in his career.
Jones used Marshall 100-watt amps with Hiwatt cabinets loaded with Fane speakers—simple and to the point.
Where Is He Now?
When he isn’t performing, Jones has helped to produce the likes of Van Halen, Billy Joel and he even co-wrote songs with Eric Clapton. In 2016 the original lineup of Foreigner reunited to celebrate the platinum certification of No End in Sight: The Very Best of Foreigner. Jones and the band have since performed on many platforms such as The Rachel Ray Show, Fox & Friends, and are currently set to do a 2017 summer tour with Cheap Trick.
Jones continues his legacy with Foreigner to this day. In addition to all of the amazing performances and tours, he released a book in 2017 entitled, A Foreigners Tale. The book is the first authorized, illustrated history of Foreigner as a whole and is available for purchase at www.foreignerbook.com.

This past weekend we lost a visionary, a fighter for women’s rights, and a “mama” to so many women and girl survivors of sexual violence in Congo. On March 18th, co-founder and Program Director of HEAL Africa Lyn Lusi passed away from terminal cancer. Lyn dedicated her life to the women and girls of Congo. According to HEAL Africa’s website, she first arrived in 1971 and worked in school and hospital administration in northeastern Congo (Nyankunde) for 19 years. In 2000 Lyn and her husband Dr. Kasereka (“Jo”) Lusi, founded HEAL Africa, a Congolese-led organization in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, working to eradicate poor health, poverty and the oppression of women. HEAL Africa has performed more than 1,500 post-rape fistula repair surgeries, provided primary care and counseling to more than 40,000 women, established 31 Safe Houses, trained 90,000 community activists in HIV/AIDS prevention and care, and funded more than 1,500 micro grants for families.
V-Day has worked closely with Lyn and HEAL Africa since 2007, and though our hearts are heavy, Lyn will continue to inspire us daily.
Eve wrote this tribute to Lyn upon hearing the sad news of her passing –
Lyn Lusi died last night. She was the founding director of Heal Africa in Goma. She healed thousands of lives, saved and lifted thousands of others. She was safety. She was home. She was possibility. I want to write about her heart. I want to write about her devotion to the women and the girls and healthcare and education and stopping AIDS. I want to write about her consistency and tenacity, about her kindness and her roses. She planted gardens. There are blossoms all over the DRC. I want to write about dancing with Lyn in Goma and sitting with her at fancy fundraisers in London and cheering with her just this January for the women graduates from Heal Africa at City of Joy in Bukavu. I want to talk about her being a teacher of service and a mentor of listening and a mother of compassion. Lyn was what care looks like and devotion and finding a way through and absorbing pain and turning it to magic and power. I want to write about Lyn’s love for Congo and all the ways she manifested that love. She literally gave her being and body. No one will ever replace her. They couldn’t. What we can do in her name, in her legacy is open our hearts further, listen deeper, serve more gently and fight more fiercely for what she loved, the women, the Congo. We can devote ourselves in her name to the time, may it be soon, when the Congolese rise to take their country, their minerals, their rights, their bodies, their future born from a soil that her love made rich. I loved Lyn. She was my friend and my sister. I will miss her deeply.

Objectives: The antimicrobial efficacy of a chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) intravascular catheter gel dressing was evaluated against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and an extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli. Chlorhexidine deposition on the skin surface and release from the gel were determined. Methods: The antimicrobial efficacy was evaluated in in vitro studies following microbial inoculation of the dressing and application of the dressing on the inoculated surface of a silicone membrane and donor skin [with and without a catheter segment and/or 10% (v/v) serum] on diffusion cells. Antimicrobial activity was evaluated for up to 7 days. Chlorhexidine skin surface deposition and release were also determined. Results: MRSA and E. coli were not detectable within 5 min following direct inoculation onto the CHG gel dressing. On the silicone membrane, 3 log and 6 log inocula of MRSA were eradicated within 5 min and 1 h, respectively. Time to kill was prolonged in the presence of serum and a catheter segment. Following inoculation of donor skin with 6 log cfu of MRSA, none was detected after 24 h. Chlorhexidine was released from the gel after a lag time of 30 min and increasing amounts were detected on the donor skin surface over the 48 h test period. The CHG gel dressing retained its antimicrobial activity on the artificial skin for 7 days. Conclusions: The CHG intravascular catheter site gel dressing had detectable antimicrobial activity for up to 7 days, which should suppress bacterial growth on the skin at the catheter insertion site, thereby reducing the risk of infection.

Workin’ on our night moves in the summertime
‘Night Ride’ returns after 33 years
|Jul 8, 2019|| 2|
Get more Retrontario in your inbox every Monday by subscribing to this newsletter.
Created in part to circumvent Canadian production requirements, Night Ride, Night Walk and Night Moves were Global Television’s 1986 trilogy of POV journeying around downtown Toronto. The shows are now minor cult classics, and credited as harbingers of the slow TV genre. (Also, they made flugelhorn maestro Guido Basso a household name… among insomniacs who watched the credits.)
Contrary to most hazy memories, just one episode of each was produced, and repeated nightly through 1993, when tacky infomercials took over. But the YouTube channel My Night Walk (which houses hi-resolution copies of the originals) has created a new, second episode of Night Ride. It features 4K Ultra HD video footage of 2019 Toronto over the dreamy soundtrack of the original Global TV show:
A little more time of 1985
Not only did Corey Hart rock Ontario Place last month, but his essential ballad “Never Surrender” was the first of many classic 1985 pop songs featured in Stranger Things 3. Netflix’s sci-fi series also made hay of New Coke, and the fictional Scoops Ahoy ice cream parlour—which recently re-dressed Baskin Robbins for a promotion at Woodbine Mall.

A living mystery gets booked
Ambrose Small has been a recent obsession for Toronto Star reporter Katie Daubs. But he was also once the subject of an unconventional “Newserial” on CityPulse: Bill Cameron hosted a sort of proto-Unsolved Mysteries period recreation, over five evenings, 40 years ago:
Grapes won’t be trampled
After rumours swirled that Rogers Media would retire Don Cherry from Hockey Night in Canada, the 85-year-old dispatched a denial—which means that we won’t have Grapes-free TV in 2019-20. But there used to be a lot more Cherry out there. Not only was he ranting on the CBC, and his own show Grapevine, he was the pitchman for everything from Mennon to Ford Motors to Fibreglass Pink, and more:
Shots to your dome (nyeah eh!)
Rogers replacing or re-shaping the Rogers Centre is also being buzzed about. The company paid $25 million for it—about 5% of the original cost. Perhaps now is the time to “share the dream” and unload those collectible pieces of SkyDome roof, which were being shilled on TSN non-stop in summer 1989:

Ethnographic Study of Policy and Practice in Local Government in England
Public health in England has been moved back into local government after 40 years in the NHS. Politicians and practitioners alike hope that this will allow more coordinated and effective work on the social and physical environment that affects people’s health and well-being, from alcohol and fast food availability to housing and employment. However, the influence of the medical profession on public health has led to a view that research “evidence” about these approaches is perhaps the most important consideration for deciding policy and designing public programmes. Many public health professionals have criticised local government for being too political and giving little room for consideration of “evidence” about what might have the most impact. This political culture is seen as a threat to the professional evidence-oriented expertise of public health.
There is an abundance of research asking public sector policy-makers and practitioners, from health to housing, what they think about “evidence” from academic research and how they use it. Very few researchers have taken a more holistic approach, to try to understand how officers in national or local government work on a day-to-day basis, looking at what they actually think and talk about in responding to problems and making decisions. This type of approach would give us a much better understanding of where evidence and evaluation feature in the way that local government officers make sense of their work, to see whether and how it might be possible for the public health approach to fit into this logic and what concessions public health practitioners might have to make to be successful in their new role.
What are we doing?
In this project we are using ethnographic methods to describe the work of local government in England. We are spending time with officers in local authorities in different parts of the country as they go about their everyday activities from meetings and committees to visiting community groups or inspecting businesses. We are also interviewing them to ask them in more depth about their work. From what we observe and hear we are hoping to be able to answer these questions:
– what does the work of local government involve?
– what is the logic that underpins this work?
– what information and knowledge resources do officers use and how?
– how do officers value their work? How do they know they are doing the “right” thing?

You are walking in the woods when you come across this tree with a hole. Curious, you peer in. You discover a tunnel. Should you go in? You decide to risk it. What happens next?
STUCK?Try this story starter:
“I hate you!” I slammed the front door and stormed off. It wasn’t fair. My stupid parents wouldn’t let me go to Karen’s party just because it was on a school night. I was going to miss the best party of the year.
I entered the old woods at the end of my street. It’s where I always go when I’ve had a bust up with them. I find it calming. Things don’t seem so bad when I’m there. Except this time it wasn’t working. So I kept walking until I came to a clearing I hadn’t come across before. Right in the middle was a twisted, gnared old tree. Maybe an oak? I don’t know such things. It had a hole at the base of the trunk, Curiousity got the better of me. It always does. I peered in. It seemed to be some kind of tunnel. I just had to go in.
What happens next?
DID YOU KNOW? There is a book about a tunnel called The Tunnel by children’s writer and illustrator Anthony Browne. It’s great.
What is Write – 30?
Write – 30 is a daily activity where you write non-stop for twenty minutes then check and edit your work for 10 minutes. You will be asked to write about different subjects and in different forms.
The writing should be done on lined paper in pencil if possible. Edit and check the work in pen. If you don’t have paper and pencil, use what you can. Even a computer.
Finding it difficult? What you can do to help:
- Always sit/work in the same place
- Always use the same writing tools
- Always turn the TV off
- No talking – it distracts thinking
- Always listen to the same piece of classical music when writing.
- Always set yourself a goal: count the number of words. Try to beat that number the following day.

This poor little kitten was found on the side of the road, and it was clear the kitty had suffered some sort of accident – probably a collision with a vehicle.
Rescuers rushed him to the veterinarian, who was unsure if the kitten would make it through the night. But they put a body cast on the kitty and wished for the best.
And after two months, kitty was deemed safe enough to walk! Just take one look at this kitten and you will fall in love with his strong spirit. Watch here:
We’re so glad he’s healthy, happy and safe now—SHARE this beautiful video with your friends! :)

It’s time to vote for our next Sewcialists challenge!
The following theme ideas were developed by the Sewcialists Blog Team group on Facebook. (You can join too if you want to help out behind the scenes!) We brainstormed ideas and voted on a short list – and now you get to have your say, too! We’d like to know which topics interest you most, and that will help us chose which themes to host for November 2017, February 2018, and May 2018.
We had four criteria while picking theme month topics:
- EASY TO JOIN. We don’t want time, money, or skill to be a barrier. We try not to pick themes where you will have to buy specific patterns or fabric. (Of course you can use it as an excuse to go shopping if you want!)
- GENERAL. Most of our themes aim to appeal to a broad Sewcialist audience and are open to interpretation. Occasionally, we’ll shake things up with a niche theme like costuming or lingerie.
- INCLUSIVE. Ideally, a challenge should be open and interesting to people of all genders, religions, sizes, geographic locations, etc. The means picking broad topics, and avoiding topics like “holiday party dresses” that assumes all sewists wear dresses and celebrate specific holidays, or “cosy winter woollens” that ignores the half of the globe with opposite seasons!
- FUN. Ultimately the goal of the blog is to engage as many Sewcialists as possible, and showcase diverse voices that represent the breadth of the sewing community. The best way to do that is to make our theme months fun and engaging!
On to the themes! There will be a Google form at the end where you can vote for your THREE favourites.
Sew anything you like using stripes!
Sew something missing from your me-made wardrobe.
Make an eco-friendly project by reducing waste, refashioning, or using locally-made fabric.
Sew fanciful or functional clothes (i.e. a costume or everyday wear) inspired by your favourite fairytales, myths or legends from around the world.
Take a simple pattern and make it shine! You could hack it into something new, perfect the fit, or go all-out with a fabulous fabric.
If you already have Tried’N’True patterns that work for you every time, celebrate them and make your ultimate version. If you don’t have TNT patterns, this is your chance to remake something that was a success the first time!
Sew something inspired by your favourite music! It could be a riff on what you wore when you first fell in love with that music (goth, grunge, pop, etc), an outfit inspired by lyrics or a music video, channeling an artist’s fashion style, or any other musical interpretation!
Sew something that makes you feel marvelous! A party dress, pyjamas, or anything in between, because we all deserve to feel GREAT in our clothes!
Sew Secret Pyjamas – something so comfortable you could sleep in it, but fashionable enough for wearing out of the house!
WHAT THEMES DO YOU LIKE BEST?
Remember, you can choose up to three themes – but not more! Votes with more than three themes will be disqualified. Please only vote once. Voting will be open from 7am on Monday, September 11th to 7pm on Friday, September 15th, Eastern Standard Time.
Dear Reader: Our goal is to build community and make everyone feel welcome. We support crafting as an inclusive and welcoming space for people of all ages, abilities, ethnicities, genders, orientations and sizes. Regarding sewing challenge themes, we ask that you take each challenge as you see it fitting in your life, and express your involvement how you like, at the given time. Our challenges are for the pure enjoyment of participation and the love of community. Extended Mission Page Here.

No, not how you want to play Halo. On November 11, 2014, 343 Industries (previously of Bungie) released Halo: The Master Chief Collection for Xbox One. The game includes updated versions of Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2, Halo 3, and Halo 4. You can play each campaign as well as multiplayer matchmaking in each game with some really cool looking updated maps! I was excited. My friends were excited. Any fan of Halo was excited.
“WHO WANTS TO PLAY THROUGH ALL THE CAMPAIGNS WITH ME?” we all said. And what a nostalgic adventure it would be, crashing down onto Halo as the Master Chief. Feels like the first time. But as my friends and I attempted to play this game together, we noticed a few issues. It was impossible to group ourselves into a party to join a matchmaking game. It was also impossible to get into a matchmaking game when you’re playing alone.
Well, we can still play the campaigns until 343 fixes the issues. I mean, a huge game like this is bound to have a few bugs at release. Since Halo: CE and Halo 2 only have two player campaign co-op, and there were four of us, we skipped ahead to the Halo 3 campaign. We somehow managed to group together in a party and launched the game. The opening cutscene plays with Cortana explaining why the Chief is so incredibly awesome as the fireball that is the Chief hurls towards Earth. I notice the fireball is taking an awfully long time to come down.
“No, not this too,” I thought, “something on this game has to be playable.”
After the painfully long cutscene complete with frames-per-second drops, mismatched audio, and just obnoxious freezes, we thought we could finally play the game. If you call this playing the game, sure.
The only thing left was to play the campaigns on our own. But that’s not what makes Halo great. Playing capture the flag with my friends on the multiplayer map Zanzibar is what makes Halo great. Playing our favorite custom game of Assault, called Gang Violence, is what makes Halo great. So we stopped playing, and we haven’t played since.
I saw that 343 patched the game on January 19. It claims to improve matchmaking. But there is still an outcry in the /r/Halo community for 343 to fix the game. In fact, things are still such cluster#@!* that the next patch will be available to play as a beta test. I thought open betas usually happened before games were released. And we’re supposed to be getting excited about their next release, Halo 5: Guardians? Wait…Guardians? Like these Guardians?
Ohhh you mean these Guardians:
You mean there’s different Guardians???
Well I guess they look kind of different. They’re all the same color, at least. I do like things with Guardians in them. But this time around I’m going to hold onto my wallet until 343 Industries proves they can have a functional game at launch.

We are extremely grateful to the more than 400 guests who joined us for one of our most successful galas to date. We raised more than $430,000 to improve the lives of the most vulnerable in the Bay Area's Asian and Pacific Islander community. Photos from this evening can be found here.
NBC's Robert Handa was the emcee for an inspiring evening showcasing three powerful stories:
Sheila Lirio Marcelo, recipient of our Leadership in Philanthropy Award, shared her inspiring story of following her passion and pursuing a purposeful life while founding and leading Care.com. Sheila's son, Ryan Marcelo, delivered moving introductory remarks and reflected,
I live below the poverty line. My parents fled South Vietnam during the war and settled in Oakland to build a new life. Being a recipient of an Asian Pacific Fund scholarship relieved some of the financial burden and allowed me the option to attend one of the best schools in the world: UCLA.
Every day, I see my mom leveraging her success to make a difference in the world around us. She is never satisfied with success. She is always striving for significance, always striving to make a lasting, positive impact.
Alice Giang - recipient of the Sung Chul Lee & Donald O. Cameron Memorial Scholarship - shared the difference that our support made for her as a first-generation college student:
Alice's story is representative of the more than 70 students who receive scholarships each year through the Asian Pacific Fund.
In a powerful video, Leo Tan told his moving story of adjusting to life in America when he arrived with his mother from China. We followed their journey from loneliness and isolation to building confidence and connection through the support of our affiliate partner, Cameron House.
Our broad network of nonprofits like Cameron House are deeply rooted in the community and reach more than 100,000 vulnerable Asian and Pacific Islanders throughout the greater Bay Area.
If you didn't have a chance to make a donation at the gala, we welcome your support. Thank you for helping to make this year's gala such a special evening!

Walk a Mile in Her Shoes®
The 2nd Walk a Mile in Her Shoes ® event was another overwhelmingly successful day! It may have been damp, rainy and overcast, but that did not stop this community from coming out and showing their support!
This year we asked men and women to rise up and choose to commit to ending violence. With one voice hundreds of individuals said, “We Promise. In Every Moment. Of Everyday. WE WILL COMMIT to Walk for You!” It was an incredible way to join together with one common goal | to publicly declare for all women who are or have experienced abuse & violence, that we believe them and will stand by them and that we DO NOT condone Violence Against Women.
This year nearly 150 men and women stepped up in high heels (and other fun footwear!) on May 25 to walk the Hub Path along St. Mary’s Rive to increase awareness and help families walk away from domestic violence. Additionally, a fantastic showing of community members came out to show their support of the work we do, and to join their voices with all the Walkers #EndVAW.
We surpassed all our expectations again this year with a final total of $53,233 of in-kind and monetary support raised that will have a tremendous impact on Sault Ste. Marie and our domestic violence prevention and awareness programs at Women In Crisis.
Because of you, a child in our city doesn’t need to go to bed tonight in fear.
Because of you, more families can take the first steps toward healing.
Because of you, young people are learning about domestic violence, and the cycle of abuse can be broken.
SHOUT OUT TO The Burly Heeled Men they raised over $4,000.00 to support Women & Children fleeing abuse & violence! THANK YOU for your passion and dedication to create a violence-free future. #endVAWnow.
For the 2nd year in a row, Ms Nicole Vinette has raised more finances than any other participant with over $2,000.00! This incredible outpouring of support will assist Women & Children who are survivors of domestic and sexual violence and need support to start over in a violence-free future. Thank you Nicole, and to everyone who gave in support of Nicole and the work of Women In Crisis in our community and district.
GET READY NOW FOR THE 3RD WALK A MILE IN HER SHOES SSM | VIRTUAL STYLE!

We all age, it’s that simple. But how we age? That’s up to us. Today, thanks to modern advances in cosmetic medicine and a much deeper understanding of the factors that go into cellular aging, we have more power than ever to maintain youthful, gorgeous skin.
The first line of defense begins at home, where your skin care regimen, diet, and lifestyle all come into play. If you’re looking to go the extra mile, modern aesthetic medicine can help supplement your efforts and turn back the clock on aging.
New laser treatments allow the Aesthetx team and other qualified plastic surgeons to help engage your body’s natural healing mechanisms and literally increase the growth of collagen and elastin (two critical components of glowing skin).
Below, we’ve broken down what you need to do at home and the in-office treatments that can keep you looking your very best.
Anti-Aging Skin Care, Step By Step
Before we tackle the skin care steps you should be adopting into your everyday life, it’s essential to understand some other factors that go into the visible signs of aging. First and foremost: sun exposure. If there is one thing to focus on, it’s avoiding direct sunlight as much as possible (especially between 12-3 pm when UV rays are strongest). Ultraviolet radiation damages the top layers of skin, causing an increase in free radicals, which encourage early wrinkling, uneven pigmentation, and skin laxity.
Sleep, hydration, and stress are two of the other most significant contributors to aging. If you want your skin to look healthy, you have to give your body the time and tools it needs to heal naturally. Getting eight hours of sleep a night, drinking water throughout the day, and managing stress levels will have a significant effect on your long-term health and skin quality. Meditation, mindfulness, and similar emotional management tools have been proven to lower stress, improve immune system functioning, focus, and overall well-being.
And now, onto skin care. Things get a bit nuanced here as every person needs a slightly different skin care routine to perfectly compliment their skin type, lifestyle, and age. For instance, powerful anti-aging skin care products such as Retinol can provide stunning results. But, they might not be right if you have particularly sensitive or oily skin, as in these cases, Retinol can increase irritation. Therefore, it’s essential to always do your research before beginning to use a new product, and if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to call our expert team.
In general, though, here’s the ideal anti-aging skin care regimen:
Morning and Night
In the morning, start by using a gentle hydrating cleanser. You can mix these up based on your personal preferences and the time of year. For instance, foaming cleansers are a great refreshing way to keep your skin clear all summer long, but they might not provide the extra moisture needed, come winter. If you’re looking for an alternative, consider a cream or milk cleanser with organic botanical ingredients.
After cleansing, apply the toner of your choice. There are nearly infinite options available, so have fun experimenting as you find the perfect smell and formula for you. L’Occitane’s Immortelle Precious Essential Water is a great product to begin with, as it’s alcohol-free and harnesses the natural power of Immortelle blossoms and a dynamic Hyaluronic Acid complex to improve natural glow and evenness.
Next, it’s time for serums. Here, again, it’s a matter of personal choice. Quality counts when it comes to choosing your serum, though, and we only get one face–so why not treat it well. Vitamin C serums are particularly useful in helping slow free radicals and providing a rich dose of antioxidants to help rejuvenate and restore skin cells. We have been particularly loving OLEHENRIKSEN’s Truth Serum.
If your skin can handle further moisture, applying a secondary retinol serum two to three times a week can provide even further rejuvenation.
After your serums have been absorbed (two to five minutes), depending on the time of day, it’s either time for a light moisturizer and your daily SPF or a rich night cream. Moisture goes fast, and there are plenty of affordable options that provide gentle and natural hydration all day long. CeraVe, which is found in most drug stores, makes a great daily moisturizer that’s gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin types.
Look for a lightweight mineral sunscreen with an SPF of 60+, such as ISDIN’s award-winning ERYFOTONA ACTINICA sunscreen. Using this daily (multiple times per day if you’re spending hours outdoors) is the number one way to help prevent wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and skin sagging.
At night, apply a rich hydrating night cream of your choosing. Retinol can be a great help but is by no means necessary. Ideally, look for natural ingredients free of sulfates or parabens.
Oasis Aesthetics: Clinically-Proven, Spa-Grade Rejuvenation
Taking care of your skin every day is a great first step, but you can only do so much by yourself. For the most substantial results, we’re here to help. At Aesthetx, we offer a range of treatments to transform your skin, maintain your glow, and reduce wrinkles non-invasively.
Scheduling a regimen of any of our clinically proven aesthetic dermatology options every few months can provide stunning long term results. These treatments range to fit every patient’s unique skin and goals, with options ranging from relaxing, gentle HALO treatments, to more aggressive and transformative treatments like the PRP Facial.
If you want to focus on wrinkle reduction, we offer both injectable options and a range of highly advanced microneedling options, including the ground-breaking Sciton Laser, ProfoundRF, and the AQUAGOLD microchannel microinjector to address fine lines and many other common skin issues.
You’re Not Alone: Practice and Ask Questions
Skincare takes time to perfect, so be kind and patient with yourself. Our team at Aesthetx is here to help you through any of your Skin Care issues and have worked with patients of all skin types, tones, and ages. We’ve truly heard it all when it comes to choosing products, creating a routine, and everything in-between.
If you have any questions or want to learn more about our medical spa offerings, your next step is to schedule a no-obligation virtual consultation with Aesthetx. During this meeting, you’ll be able to ask anything on your mind, and we’ll help determine your goals and concerns. From there, we’ll help to build you a personalized treatment plan from the comfort and safety of your home.
Our first priority is the safety and satisfaction of every customer. To get in touch and schedule your consultation, please give our Campbell, CA, office a call at (435) 627-8150 or contact us online today.

How to Get Started with VR: Intro to Your First Virtual Reality Project
“Mrs. G was super-religious and spent most of her time in the OASIS, sitting in the congregation of one of those big online mega-churches, singing hymns, listening to sermons, and taking virtual tours of the Holy Land.”
Ready Player One by Ernest Cline
This sentence, describing the seemingly absurd possibilities of owning a set of virtual reality goggles in 2045 is already outdated. Meditative readings of the Bible are available on Samsung Gear VR today. For free. Sit back and enjoy.
It seems like anything can be transferred into a virtual realm. Just scroll through a VR experience store. You can swim with dolphins, act out your dreams of being a pirate, immerse yourself and your kids in an educational VR about the night sky. And then there are a ton of games: racing, shooting, arcades, exploration, and… oh, is this The Economist VR app? There’s also seems to be a Jaguar racing simulator, a virtual tour of GE’s smart windfarms in China, and an overview of the Western Sydney University campus.
Not many of those hundreds of branded experiences available on VR platforms are as interactive and realistic as you may expect. But they’re out there, open to the public, collecting users and reviews, while benefiting their developers. If you want to know how to build a VR application for your customers, employees, or simply for the good of the humankind, keep reading. Let’s start with the most reasonable examples of VR implementation.
Solid VR use cases
We can go on endlessly about the possibilities VR is going to bring in our world. Still, not many of those impressive product demos you see on Twitter or Facebook reach the implementation phase. Some, however, do. And they also bring noticeable results. These are a few solid use cases for your VR initiative that can satisfy your expectations.
Most people’s introduction to virtual reality has been via video games. Despite the wince-inducing price tag (the cheapest high-end system PlayStation VR retails for $350), VR gaming remains the most accessible way for consumers form to experience the technology. The demand is high and the proposition doesn’t lag behind. Steam, the largest PC gaming marketplace, reports a 160 percent year-over-year VR user increase. According to its monthly report, 0.3 percent of Steam’s active users own a VR headset, which makes up more than 4 million of all users of the service.

Spending hundreds of dollars on VR products and supported hardware is not the only option for people who want to try immersive gaming. VR amusement park chains such as The Void or Oriental Science Fiction Valley are opening up around the globe to combine standard virtual reality software with real-life sets – all for a fraction of the price spent on the hardware.
Customer experience simulations, product demos, fun experiments with a nebulous relation to the company are the most common examples of using VR in advertising. These are mostly one-time campaigns aimed at creating a buzz around the brand, getting customers excited, and letting them try a product in a somewhat gamified way. The Vincent Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, for instance, employed a VR development company to create a virtual tour for the painter’s five classic paintings. The experience was viewed 7 million times and made a lot of headlines as the first time all five of Van Gogh’s sunflower paintings could be seen in one place. Creating such content is easy and profitable especially if all it takes is a 360-degree tour around your facility or a newly opened location.

An example of a different approach was offered by an online travel agency Expedia. The company published two interactive virtual experiences – a tour through Mexican cenotes and a walk in Seattle’s Space Needle. Here, the company didn’t simply provide a guided tour – it’s an actual short game that can be played using HTC Vive or Oculus Rift hardware. This approach requires that the audience already owns a headset and is interested in trying the experience at home.

The third approach can be seen in Lowe’s example. Here, the home improvement brand offered users the opportunity to try their Holoroom innovation directly in store. This realistic experience allows customers to play around with tiles, wall colors, furniture positioning and so on to create their dream environment.
For years the automotive industry has been implementing virtual test drives. Audi, BMW, Porsche, KIA, Cadillac, and other automotive brands are opening up virtual experiences in dealerships and rolling out mobile apps. And this makes sense. Since purchasing a car is a serious decision, allowing clients to select among all models, not just those displayed in one dealership, is beneficial to both buyers and businesses.

Many brands also use VR for planning their store spaces. L’Oréal employs virtual reality visuals and 3D rendering to make better decisions on merchandise positioning. The process of prototyping, designing, and creating physical demos usually takes several months while virtual stores provide the same feedback much faster.
Training and education
NASA started using VR simulators for astronaut training in the 1990s and haven’t stopped since. Today the agency uses four types of virtual training including spacewalks, rescue situations, repair and robotic operations, and of course zero-g-mass adaptation.

Many dangerous and simply high-risk operations on Earth also employ virtual reality as part of their practice. Military, firefighter, railway maintenance, and many more simulators are used to prepare trainees to make quick decisions in stressful situations, and all without harming or endangering people as it used to be with traditional training. Flaim Systems is one of providers of such technology that uses real-life equipment, jackets with built-in heating elements to simulate fire, and a hose that gives realistic feedback. This is both far and very close to gaming sims people can enjoy on their PCs.
Regular school education benefits from VR as well. In 2015, Google announced its new service Expeditions and offered free headsets along with teacher-assisting software to all schools that decide to implement the technology. Using virtual field trips, teachers can take students to travel around the world, explore underwater flora and fauna, and enrich lecture with immersive and engaging experiences. Another provider ClassVR offers both headsets and VR content organized in a curriculum for learning various subjects on different education levels.

Interestingly, there are not many ways VR is currently used in healthcare. Use cases mostly cover medical training and mental health treatment. The examples of these applications, however, are broad. Phobia, anxiety, and PTSD treatment, autism therapy – cognitive behavioral therapy in combination with VR helps improve neurological conditions by exposing patients to triggering situations in a virtual world. Studies also show that experiencing certain simulations can help people reduce physical pain or get rid of phantom limb pain.

Travel is one of the most intriguing and alluring virtual reality use cases. And, people are eager to try it. VR can spark an emotional connection that no pictures or videos can. There’s Google Earth VR that allows you to fly above the planet for free or Everest VR that simulates conquering the world’s highest mountain from the comfort of your living room. But these experiences don’t have to entertain only. Often used by travel and hospitality brands as an introduction to their services, they can also cast a deeper impression on a client. Although the market is flooded with prototypes, such as Amadeus’ VR booking system, some applications are already available to the public.
As an example, Thomas Cook offered virtual excursions to some of their destinations that customers could try in their physical stores. The Best Western hotel chain created a virtual map of their properties’ rooms, lobbies, and even gyms to not only keep the customers engaed, but to help in the decision-making process many travelers go through when choosing a hotel.

Understanding VR development
VR application development is no longer an uncharted area. Today we have tools, approaches, and techniques that help us get started from a lower entrance point. Here we will describe the main phases of creating a VR project along with the tools and skills you will require.
Design and prototype tools
Similar to most software engineering projects, VR development usually starts with design. We say usually because sometimes, for prototyping or educational purposes, this step is skipped and coders use assets from community-run libraries. You also can download ready-made objects, backgrounds or textures – they save a ton of time and can often improve your project without any additional effort. However, for custom experiences, 3D modeling is a must-have. So, what will you need?
Pen and paper. Although the 360-degree world is different from traditional rectangular screen dimensions, you still need to prototype and create 2D wireframes for the UI part of your project. Some experienced designers even created printable templates that can be converted into virtual sketches: Check out this 360 panorama grid and a VR storyboard template.

Sketch. This classic tool for designing user flows and screens in mobile interfaces can also be successfully used in VR. Besides, there’s also a plug-in that transforms Sketch documents into a 360-degree view as seen on the gif below.

Blender. This free and beginner-friendly product will help you create great custom 3D models for your first VR project. Any visual designer from your team can get the hang of it with online tutorials and a bit of practice. Blender objects can be easily imported into any game engine.
3ds Max and Maya. These Autodesk products are standards in modeling, sculpting, animation, lighting, and visual effects. Many if not most game and movie elements are designed using one of them. Which is both a blessing and a curse since their robust nature makes them challenging to learn. They are not exactly cheap and require a true master to put them to work effectively. Consider them when you have time and money to spare.
Cinema 4D. Another advanced tool, Cinema 4D, while not as widely used, has a ton of plug-ins and a milder learning curve when compared to Maya, for example. It’s popular among small teams and single artists, and unlike Autodesk products is available for Mac OS.

A-Frame. This open source Mozilla project allows you to create VR experiences using HTML. Finished experiences run on HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, Google Daydream, and Samsung Gear VR. This is a great jumping-off point to give your in-house developers an opportunity to experiment with a new format.
Primrose. There are two use cases described on the tool’s official website: prototyping and collaboration. While the first is more or less the same as previously mentioned software, the collaborative function is unique. Basically, Primpose encourages users to voice-chat in their virtual meeting rooms as in common interaction spaces. Primrose apps can be viewed on desktop, mobile, and most major headsets.
To develop interactive virtual reality experiences, your absolute must-have is a game engine. Game and VR engines are programs specifically aimed at creating rich, immersive, and realistic worlds that require programming and graphic design skills. Most popular VR engines today are free (at least to a certain point), easily integrated with VR platform-specific SDKs (software development kits) and allow for heavy customization with APIs.
While mobile development suggests that you use a different tech stack for every operating system (unless you’re using one of the cross-platform methods), most VR engines allow you to publish your app on all main platforms. While there are tons of engines on the market to explore, we’ll give you a quick overview of the main ones to give you a head start.
Unity. Considered the mandatory tool for beginning VR engineers, Unity supports all main VR devices and file formats used by different 3D building applications including Cinema4D, 3D Max, Maya, and more. It uses C# – object-oriented scripting language – to write commands for game objects and the overall logic of your virtual world. One of Unity’s biggest pros is the huge community-based asset store for free and paid 3D objects, textures, and audio files. The product is also free until you start earning over $100k a year from your app. Finally, the community is unmatched with 45 percent of game devs preferring Unity over any other engine.
Unreal Engine. Second in line after Unity with around 17 percent of the market is Unreal Engine. This tool uses C++ language which is considered more difficult than C# or Java and requires some C++ programming knowledge before getting started. There’s also an alternative scripting method called Blueprints Visual Scripting which allows designers and programmers to work in collaboration using the same range of tools.
Google Daydream development in Unreal Engine
Unreal uses a different pricing model – the engine is free to use until you earn $3k a quarter and then you have to pay 5 percent of the revenue from your app. It’s a more complex and sophisticated tool compared to Unity, which is compromised by better performance and arguably the most realistic look among other engines. Just like Unity, it supports all main VR devices.
CryEngine. Another free tool for highly realistic-looking interfaces is CryEngine. It’s famous for its unique weather and water effects including volumetric fog, ocean physics, and full 3D cloud rendering making it a first-choice tool for nature-rich experiences (check out this gameplay of VR game Robinson: The Journey for a demonstration). CryEngine also works with C++ and unlike its competitors supports only three VR platforms: HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, and OSVR.
Platforms and SDKs
The second decision you must make regarding VR development is the platform. Of course, with cross-platform engines such as Unity and Unreal, you can tap into any market, but any development requires you to pick the starter SDK to shape your experience around. SDK is a plug-in that you add to your chosen engine that includes engine- and platform-specific assets, content, and techniques that shape the overall native experience for each device. Among many community-provided APIs and tools, you probably should start with each brand’s official SDK.
VR devices on the market can be divided into two categories: high-end and mainstream.
High-end VR products use high-performance PC processors and consoles. These sophisticated products with specific hardware requirements include HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, and PlayStation VR.
Mainstream VR devices such as Samsung Gear VR, Oculus Go, or Google Daydream are comprised of VR glasses (also controllers, sometimes) and use mobile processors for computing power and as displays (except for Oculus Go that downloads VR content directly to the device).
How to choose a platform to develop your first VR experience on? Well, you may go the popularity route, but remember to consider other factors. For example, PlayStation has the largest market share for its headsets but only users owning the console at home can use them. How will you deliver your apps to the audience? Will it be a one-time marketing campaign experienced directly in a store? Or a game that will be available to people at any times on Steam or in mobile stores? Capabilities of different devices can also be different so let’s draw a quick comparison.
Sony PlayStation VR is the most popular vendor for headsets, followed by Oculus, HTC, and a small portion of other devices including Samsung and Google
Below we review six VR devices, common implementation examples, available SDKs and shipping platforms. You can skim over this table and read the detailed description after.
HTC Vive (Viveport SDK). Devices from the HTC Vive line appeared from the collaboration of a hardware company HTC and Valve, creator of the largest software distribution platform Steam. This headset allows users to experience the virtual world while sitting, standing, or even in motion – it maps out the room around the wearer using a camera and provides a more immersive and less nauseating experience. The only limitations for moving are created by each separate game and are being displayed as faint blue lines on the screen during the VR experience. The apps are distributed via – you guessed it – the Steam VR platform and available on PC.
Oculus Rift and Oculus Go (Oculus SDK). Being Vive’s biggest competitor in VR experiences for PC, Oculus started the global VR adoption with its Kickstarter campaign in 2014. Apart from the Steam platform, you can distribute applications in the Oculus store. Recently the company rolled out the lighter and cheaper headset Oculus Go for users who don’t have robust and performance-demanding computers. Games and apps for Go can also be distributed via a dedicated mobile app that downloads them directly on a headset. Oculus, along with HTC Vive, are the only VR devices allowing for the room scale experience that we described earlier; so if you want your users to freely roam around the room, these are your only options.
Samsung Gear VR (Oculus Mobile SDK). Since Oculus took part in creating Gear VR hardware, it’s only logical that you can use their dev kit for software as well. Both brands share the same app store and the overall experience is very similar. The main difference is that the Samsung device is powered entirely by a smartphone – and, not surprisingly, a Samsung smartphone. The one noticeable advantage Gear VR has over Oculus Go is the price and the fact that many Samsung users likely got their device for free or with a discount, which means that even people not particularly interested in VR can have a device laying around in their house.
Google Cardboard (Google VR SDK). When Google released its foldable VR device made out of plastic lenses, magnets, and well, cardboard, for just $15, virtual reality became accessible to everyone with a smartphone (given you’re located in one of the countries Google ships to). Content for Google Cardboard can be found both on the official app and directly via YouTube – if you’re developing simple interaction-free 360 degree experiences, Cardboard can deliver it. Along with the device launch, Google introduced SDKs, APIs, and tons of resources for a quick start into VR development.
Google Daydream (Google VR SDK). This 2016 device became the headset Google lovers deserved – an elevated interactive VR experience when compared to the simplistic Cardboard. Unlike Samsung Gear VR, Daydream works with several phone brands, however, only the ones containing specific components. Among them are the Pixel phones, the latest from Samsung, HTC, LG, Xiaomi, Huawei, ZTE, Asus and Alcatel models. No iPhones, unfortunately. Games and experiences can be downloaded using a Daydream app.
Google also recently collaborated with Lenovo on its Mirage Solo device – the standalone VR set similar to Oculus Go that runs Daydream software. This opens up more possibilities to the Google experience such as using WorldSense technology that tracks user’s head position for more natural movement in VR. Apps using these method can be written using the same development tools Google provides.
What about PlayStation VR experiences? You have to contact Sony directly from its PlayStation Partners page for information about any PS development. Considering much more developer- and customer- friendly solutions on the market, we recommend resorting to this method later in your VR journey.
While with traditional apps we need to check how well the program performs, the virtual world requires testing for how well the experience feels. Which is exactly where subjective factors can play a very important role. One tester or even a group of testers can’t assess how soon users will start feeling nausea, eye strain, or get a headache. And what does the testing entail exactly? This is something VR dev teams have yet to explore. Among the popular usability testing approaches are peer testing (with a spotter and a recorder), and simple session recording.
Just like with regular PC games, hardware manufacturers publish technical benchmarks that will allow experiences to run smoothly on their machines. One of them is GPU performance, which is 90 frames per second (FPS) in Oculus and HTC. To make sure their applications won’t face common problems such as dropped frames and screen stutter, developers use FPS counters. One of them is Nvidia’s new VR-targeted benchmarking tool called FCAT. It runs in the background as you test games, captures data, and then saves it in a readable format and as handy graphs. Unreal Engine and Unity have similar built-in functions.

Get prepared: What slows VR adoption
Virtual reality examples are impressive but scarce. Why so? We have a few reasons for you.
Financial restrictions. Headset sales are noticeably sinking and that’s mostly due to the price and the lack of technology updates. Today, VR users who are either tech enthusiasts or active gamers are still considered early adopters. And they also don’t rush to buy new headsets while the technology isn’t leaping aggressively forward. The lack of implementation also leads to the public viewing VR more like a toy than a practical investment.
Hardware demand. VR headsets of today are not only financially restrictive but also technically demanding. If a user decides to build a computer considering Oculus or HTC minimum requirements, this will likely cost them around $1000. And that’s only the consumer side. Developers also need to have high-powered hardware to manage 3D modeling and VR engineering tasks.
Physical discomfort. By its nature, most VR sets are heavy, restricting, and still don’t meet our expectations of highly immersive and convenient goggles. For the best VR experiences, users often dedicate separate rooms or spaces where these limitations are less visible. Before VR devices become mobile and compact and can be easily accessed anywhere, the adoption will keep staggering along.
Health issues. PlayStation and Oculus don’t recommend using headsets for children under age 13. Pregnant and elderly people, those suffering from heart or psychiatric conditions should consult a doctor before trying the VR experience. People are also at risk of having seizures, dizziness, headaches, eye strain, or even blackouts during virtual reality gaming. It’s important to point out that most of these issues are also applicable to regular gaming and even watching TV. The cases of severe problems are, however, rare and preventable. The biggest problem with engaging people in VR experiences is taking this responsibility and preparing for possible dangers.
Is it worth it? Main takeaway
Have you noticed that we skipped the ideation phase of your future VR journey? That’s not to say that coming up with a viable use case is not important. One the contrary, if you have the right solution that can bring significant benefits both to you and your customers only with the help of VR, it’s worth the try. The hardest part is understanding how much effort providing this solution requires.
VR development is not an easy endeavor. However, there are ways to make it less of a decade-long project with huge design and engineering teams and more of an experiment, the waters to dip your toe in. We’ve talked a bit about WebVR, possibilities and examples of its implementation using simple and accessible web tools. We’ve reviewed mainstream headsets, specifically mobile ones like Oculus Go and Mirage Solo. Google Cardboard apps and games are also the easiest and most approachable way to get started with VR and engage your audience. So if you’re interested in testing unexplored territories, there are ways to do it – you just have to pick one of many approaches.

6 steps to creating a social media strategy for your company
Today, every company should have a strong presence on social media. Companies that use social media effectively incorporate a social media strategy. It’s essential for your business to develop a social media strategy to minimize wasted effort, time and data and to be sure your content is appropriate and aligns with other public relations and marketing goals.
When you launch or revamp your company’s social media campaign, you should create a social media strategy before you begin posting.
There are six steps to creating a successful social media strategy:
- Conduct a social media audit.
You must first understand how and what your company is currently doing on social media before you create the steps to get your company where it needs to be. Log all of your social properties, follower counts, engagement rates and average activity per week in a working document. If you’d like to keep track of your competition, log their activity as well.
- Set objectives, key performance indicators and key supporting messages.
Use goals that directly contribute to the larger business objectives of your company to guide your social media strategy. Each social media goal you establish must be S.M.A.R.T. – specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and timely. Remember that goals and objectives are different. A key message is what you want the public to know about your company.
- Specify brand persona and voice.
Make sure your company maintains consistency throughout different communications with a working document that defines your brand voice. Consider the type of content your brand will share, the tone you want your company to have and the personality of your brand. Is your brand humorous or is it more formal?
- Put together a content game plan.
Consider who will create the content; what channels you’ll use to publish the content; and how often you’ll be posting the content. Creating a content calendar, similar to an editorial calendar, is a way to organize this information. When creating content, consider the time of year and the impact of topics to ensure you share the most effective message with your audience. For example, you don’t want to post about frostbite in the summer.
- Create social media policies and guidelines for your company.
Develop a policy that explicitly outlines what is appropriate use of social media and what isn’t. To this end, create a critical response plan for when your company or a customer posts something negative. A critical response plan is a social listening protocol, a list of designated decision-makers, a step-by-step action plan for dealing with a particular scenario and pre-approved messaging.
Remember the social media audit you created at the beginning? Keep tracking how you’re doing on social media and how much engagement your company receives on different sites. By measuring your results against your objectives regularly, you identify which strategies and tactics work well and which don’t.
Creating a social media strategy takes initial time and effort, but it’s essential to grow your company’s community, to build engagement and to cultivate brand ambassadors. Once you establish your plan, put it to use and reevaluate it quarterly or semiannually to see what may need to change. Social media isn’t new anymore, yet so many companies still struggle to manage it properly or are afraid of maintaining their social media presence.
If you aren’t utilizing social media for your clients, you should start today or contact an expert to assist you. Download Axia Public Relations’ e-book The Essential Social Media Management Guide to learn the best practices for reaching your target audience.

A new survey finds American families are willing to increase their student loans or debt, or take on a second job or sell a car, so their children can attend college. This mind-set prevails despite the fact that student loan debt has taken on crisis proportions topping $1 trillion.
In a new survey we conducted with TeenLife.com, 41 percent of respondents said they would find some other way to pay the difference if the college their student wanted to attend was more expensive than they had planned. Thirty-one percent said they would have their student increase their loans or debt, and 23 percent of parents were willing to take out a second mortgage or increase other loans and debt.
“These survey results point directly at the reason student loan debt is outpacing credit card debt for the first time in history—families are still committed to sending their child to the college of their choice no matter what the cost,” said Frank Palmasani, a veteran guidance counselor and college admissions director, and creator of the Financial Fit™ program.
The survey, which polled over 3,000 adults between the ages of 30 and 60 with at least one college-bound teen in their household, also found that 52 percent did not factor affordability into the college search process until after that process was well underway. Nearly a quarter of families did not take affordability into account until FAFSA filings in January or when award letters arrived in the spring.
“At the very core of this epidemic is a college selection timeline that leads to poor financial decisions,” Palmasani said. “Families are told ‘don’t look at the sticker price—it’s not real,’ and they believe it because it’s true. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that a school is going to be affordable. Under a blanket of false security, students spend junior and early senior year selecting colleges, testing, and applying, all the while falling more and more in love with their top pick, which may well be unaffordable.”
In order to end the cycle of excessive student loan debt, Palmasani has created a first-of-its-kind program that helps students and parents tackle affordability first, at the start of their college search.
The Financial Fit program ($49.99 introductory price for one-year access) gives families a step-by-step process to figure out what they can afford, which colleges are their financial fits, how to file financial aid documents, how to pay for college, and how to analyze award letters to get the best deal.
Each step of the Financial Fit program features worksheets and short videos that give families their own virtual advisor in the planning and execution of the college search. Financial Fit also features the College Affordability Calculator™, which determines exactly what each family can pay for college by factoring in 10 key components including cash flow, expenses, and savings.
Additional features include a search function that links directly to each school’s federally mandated net price calculator, as well as a College Comparison Chart families can use to narrow down their college list by comparing net prices with affordability.

"Where Art is Made" is the tagline of the River North (RiNo) Art District, but "Where Beer is Made" is just as apt. With big breweries set to join the upstarts, RiNo is poised to brew more beer than any other area in Denver.
A decade or two ago, RiNo was a natural location for breweries and brewpubs. It was the kind of neighborhood urban pioneers flock to for its plentiful supply of industrial buildings, favorable zoning and low rents.
Some of the earliest breweries have come and gone. Launched in Aspen, Flying Dog Brewery opened a brewpub and bottling line at the corner of Broadway and Walnut Street in 1994. Flying Dog eventually moved to 24th and Blake streets before the brewery flew the coop for Maryland in 2007.
Breweries preceded and followed Flying Dog at 24th and Blake. Mile High Brewery, now defunct, started there, and River North Brewery inhabited the location for three years before the redevelopment of the property forced them to leave RiNo in 2015, an ironic twist for a brewery named after the art district.
Black Shirt Brewing was a pioneer when it opened in RiNo in 2010.RiNo was home to the brewing industry even before it was called RiNo, but in the last 10 years the number of brewpubs, nanobreweries and microbreweries has grown rapidly. Pioneers like Black Shirt Brewing and Our Mutual Friend Brewing Company have been joined by Mockery Brewing, Ratio Beerworks, Zephyr Brewing and Beryl's Beer Co.
Recently breweries that established themselves elsewhere have begun moving to RiNo. When the founders of Salt Lake City-based Epic Brewing Company decided to start a Colorado brewery, they chose RiNo for their new facility. Epic's 2013 opening started a landslide of established breweries moving into RiNo.
In 2013, Denver-based Crooked Stave Artisan Beer Project opened a taproom in The Source. Great Divide Brewing Company's original brewery has been located just outside the boundaries of RiNo at 22nd and Arapahoe for 22 years, but that didn't stop them from opening Great Divide Barrel Bar at 3403 Brighton Blvd. in 2015, with plans to open a production brewery in the coming years.
But the fun isn't done. The big boys are coming to RiNo. Blue Moon Brewing Company, part of the MillerCoors craft and import division, has purchased a property to create a state-of-the-art brewing facility near Brighton Boulevard and 38th Street. It is set for a soft opening in July and grand opening in September 2016. New Belgium Brewing Company from Fort Collins in slated to open a brewery and aging room in 2017 in a boutique hotel adjacent to The Source.
Not to be left out of RiNo brewing explosion, Anheuser-Busch InBev is opening a 10 Barrel Brewing pub and restaurant near 26th and Walnut streets in the old Casselman's space. Longmont's Oskar Blues is also opening a CHUBurger in RiNo later in 2016, and startup Bierstadt Lagerhaus is in the long process of opening on Blake Street next to C Squared Ciders.
The times are a-changin'
With all of the new entrants in the RiNo brewing derby, what do the brewing pioneers think? How will the new players affect the character of an area that was established to help promote artists and craftspeople? Will all of the gentrification, trendy new restaurants, boutique hotels and corporate breweries change the edgy, funky character of RiNo?
Brian Dunn of Great Divide Brewing Company knows a little bit about establishing a business in a transitional neighborhood. He thinks that the neighborhood and the existing breweries will benefit from the coming changes."I think all the new breweries in RiNo is a good thing," says Dunn. "People that visit breweries like to visit more than one brewery."
Great Divide's Yeti ventures north to RiNo in 2015.Dunn opened Great Divide at Arapahoe and 22nd streets in 1994 when that area was much like RiNo is now: in transition. "There are many similarities between RiNo now and the Ballpark neighborhood in the early '90s," he notes. "We chose RiNo because it is changing and edgy. There have have been a lot of changes in RiNo up to now but even more are coming. RiNo will continue to be a vibrant place and that will make it an entertainment destination."
What does Dunn think of the large corporate players coming to RiNo? "I think it is important that people know who brews their beer," remarks Dunn. "As long as Anheuser-Busch InBev lets everyone know they are behind the new 10 Barrel brewery opening in the old Casselman's location, I don't see a problem."
Black Shirt Brewing is one of the brewing pioneers in RiNo. Branden Miller along with his brother, Chad, and Chad's wife, Carissa, started the brewery in 2010 on a shoestring budget. For the first two years, they didn't open to the public, and Black Shirt Brewing was "so far north in this little arts district that we almost didn't even qualify to be in it," says Miller. "Almost no one wanted, originally, to go this far [out], but we kind of knew what the future was going to bring."
The future brought a light-rail stop to Black Shirt Brewing's backyard. The new A Line stop at 38th and Blake Street is clearly visible from the outdoor patio where the brewery hosts musical acts. It was uncertain, though, if the new rail line to Denver International Airport might also bring an end to the Millers' dreams. The building that Black Shirt Brewing inhabits did escape eminent domain for the new station and -- at least for now -- the developers' clutches.
"We never wanted to be a downtown brewery," says Branden. "We wanted people to have seek us out and we always thought that if you had to make a special trip to come to our brewery then so would the person you're sitting next to at the bar and we always thought that the conversations would be better."
Meghan Howes, a longtime patron of Black Shirt Brewing, lives in the nearby Cole neighborhood, another area of Denver that is feeling pressure from the development in RiNo. "There are pluses and minuses of the redevelopment of RiNo," says Meghan while sipping a pint of Colorado Red. "It was an inevitability."
She says the area has changed markedly in 15 years, noting, "When we bought in 2002, our friends thought we were crazy." Now those same friends are likely wishing they had bought in this area of Denver that has gone from some of the cheapest land per square foot to some of the most expensive.
The Napa Valley of craft beer
The planned Blue Moon brewery promises a lot of change to what was once a sleepy and ramshackle part of Denver. New streets are being built here. There are plans for sidewalks, planters, benches and lighting.
John Legnard, head brewmaster at Blue Moon, says, "We're so excited to be a part of the booming RiNo community and to join the great businesses and breweries that operate there. We hope to see RiNo continue to become the go-to destination for those who appreciate creative beer, delicious food, as well as art and music."
Blue Moon is opening a pilot brewery on 38th Street.Legnard continues, "We have spent 21 great years brewing and creating out of the SandLot [Brewery] in Denver. A couple years ago, we thought it was time to expand to a space that gives our fans a closer look at the process and the opportunity to try even more of our brews. We knew that RiNo was the perfect location for our newest venture."
But not everyone is thrilled about the impending development that is certain to make this area an even more appealing destination. Just south of the Blue Moon site sits Mockery Brewing. Justin Burnsed, the irreverent head brewer at Mockery, says the brewery's name refers to the mocking of German Beer purity laws by ignoring the strict recipe requirements of the Reinheitsgebot and brewing beer well outside the recognized beer classifications.
Burnsed has a laissez-faire attitude about all the changes he has seen in the last couple of years here along Brighton Boulevard, and to the changes he knows are coming when Blue Moon opens just up the street from Mockery. He has already had a preview of this when Great Divide opened the Barrel Room Bar and new facility a block away.
"There are more people walking around the neighborhood now, especially the well-dressed developer types," Burnsed slyly observes. "I am indifferent to new breweries moving in. As long as they produce a quality product, it is good for all of us." He expands on his "a rising tide raises all boats" philosophy: "I can foresee a time when RiNo will become the Napa Valley of craft beer."
Katie McNeal of Beryl's Beer Company echoes that sentiment. "There is construction on every corner, and some people worry about big breweries coming in and ruining RiNo. I think their coming in will make RiNo the most concentrated craft beer neighborhood in the country."
At Mockery Brewing, regulars Tom Travis and Spencer Vliegen both had worked in RiNo, but their jobs have now shifted to other parts of the city. Still, they make the trek to Mockery.
Travis says it is because Mockery reminds him of a brewery in his hometown of Jacksonville, Florida. Vliegen likes Mockery because "it has small intimate atmosphere, with good beer and knowledgeable staff."
What changes have they noticed? Travis states, "Light rail has changed the feel of the place." He says he watched the Great Divide building going up, but its presence hasn't changed his brewery affiliation, though he observes, "RiNo is getting more interesting."

Up to 40% OFF VIPRE Password Vault Coupon Code. Save today with this VIPRE Password Vault Discount Code. Verified VIPRE Password Vault Promo Code.
Getting tired of remembering all the passwords for your banking, social media, and email accounts? Worried about someone stealing your passwords and gaining unauthorized access to your accounts? Concerned about passwords not syncing properly across devices? If so, then VIPRE Password Vault should take care of your issues in no time. With the uncanny ability to save passwords for both Web and app-based accounts alike, you only have to remember just one password — the master password — to gain access to the rest of them. VIPRE Password Vault uses some of the strongest encryption algorithms available today to secure your passwords, while companion apps for both Android and iOS lets you access your passwords wherever you are.
VIPRE Password Vault’s intuitive approach to password management is unprecedented. Upon installation, you are asked to set up your VIPRE account, along with a unique master password that only you know — not even VIPRE customer care can help you out in the event that you lose this password, so you should be very careful that you don’t. Each time that you sign in to your computer, you must use the master password to unlock your VIRPE vault. Upon installation, the application walks you through a simple tutorial that you can use to get up to speed on how VIPRE Password Vault functions on your computer, as well as the various ways that you can use to add passwords to your vault.
VIPRE Password Vault separates available features under six side-tabs — Quick Access, Web Accounts, App Accounts, Bookmarks, Identities, and Secure Memos. Under Quick Access, you can check frequently used accounts, bookmarks, and secure memos, while both Web Accounts and App Accounts display passwords sent to your computer via Web or application login portals. Bookmarks, obviously, lets your bookmark sites so that you don’t have to hunt for certain secure websites on multiple devices. With Identities, you can both review and add form data, while Secure Memos lets you store confidential notes. Most of the time, you won’t be using the VIPRE Password Vault interface directly, but rather the system tray menu bar for your needs.
Upon installation, VIPRE Password Vault automatically imports any passwords already saved on the three major Web browsers — Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Microsoft Edge — while adding extensions that allow you to save any passwords that you may add to your Web browser in the future. Passwords saved through Web browsers are listed under the Web Accounts section in VIPRE Password Vault. If you are worried about not being able to save application-based passwords, you don’t have to — by adding a VIPRE icon to the menu bar on every application login portal, VIPRE Password Vault lets you instantly save passwords to the VIPRE vault.
When it’s time to sign in to your accounts, VIPRE Password Vault automatically fills in the passwords for you in most instances — if it fails to do so, or if you have multiple passwords for a single portal, simply use the VIPRE extension on your Web browser or the VIPRE icon on the login-portal menu bar to manually insert your password.
In addition to the password storage capabilities featured within VIPRE Password Vault, the application also brings to the table form-filling functionalities. When filling out a Web-based form, for example, VIPRE Password Vault automatically prompts you to save the contents by creating a new identity so that you can use the details to instantly fill out any subsequent forms in the future. Alternately, you can use the VIPRE Password Vault user interface directly to create new identities and fill in the required information. The application lets you save various details — personal, contact, Internet, business, financial, etc. — with dedicated fields available for nearly any additional details that you can think of.
If you use multiple devices — Windows Phone, Android, or iOS — then you don’t have to worry about manually inserting your passwords on other devices. All you have to do is to install the free VIPRE Password Vault app on your mobile device of choice, sign in with your VIPRE user credentials, insert your VIPRE master password, and you are good to go. In addition to gaining access to all the passwords that you saved on your PC, you can also start saving any passwords that you input into your mobile device right into the VIPRE vault. The application synchronizes added passwords instantly so that you can access them across all your devices as fast as possible. Form filling functionalities are also present on the mobile version of VIPRE Password Vault.
Should I Buy It?
VIPRE Password Vault brings to the table a host of password management features that you simply cannot do without, largely in part to the various login details that you should remember in today’s fast moving world. With the ability to save your passwords safely and securely, you no longer have to waste time trying to get back lost passwords. Thanks to cross-device synchronization, you can start signing in on any other devices that you have with a single VIPRE subscription and gain access to your passwords in an instant. Support for both Web and app-based passwords, combined with form-filling and auto-completion functionalities, make VIPRE Password Vault an awesome password manager to be using.

The 57-year-old comedian took to Instagram on Saturday to share a hilarious video of her bikini contest with Kate Beckinsale, 45.
The two put their toned bods on display as they strut through Griffin's home in the clip, sporting nothing but tiny two-pieces and matching black booties. After showing off their best catwalk, Griffin and Beckinsale jokingly try to take each other down, as their friends burst into laughter.
"Last night, I hosted gay game night at my home. I love @KateBeckinsale, but she’s never had any real competition in the beauty department. I decided to challenge her to a bikini contest. Let me tell you...she still doesn’t know what hit her. Sorry Kate," Griffin captioned the hysterically bizarre video.

Kathy Griffin Told Anderson Cooper Their Friendship Is Over
"My personal life did fall apart,” she said. “My joke is, I'm down to eight gay guys, two puppies, my boyfriend and my mom, and my mom is on the bubble.”
“My life got very pared down and, you know, it was interesting,” she continued. “The comedian Katt Williams called me that day and he said, 'Get out a pen and a piece of paper.' And I thought he was going to give me, like, advice or talking points or whatever, but he gave me a better tip, which is, 'Write down the name of every single person who calls you today with complete support and, at the end of that day, look at the list and those are who your friends are.' And there were three names!”
Those three names were Williams, Griffin’s mother, Maggie, who was concerned her daughter had joined the terrorist organization ISIS, and Jim Carrey, whom Griffin admits she barely knows. But it looks like she's added a few more famous faces to her list since.

Starting later in December, Lenovo will begin offering Intel's Anti-Theft PC Protection technology with its line of ThinkPad T400 laptops. The Intel anti-theft technology works in conjunction with the new Intel Centrino 2 platform and vPro technology-a chip bundle that is designed to make managing and securing a fleet of PCs easier for an enterprise IT department.
Intel executives first began talking about the new anti-theft offering in April, and Lenovo is the first PC vendor to offer the Intel technology with its laptops.
This is also the second time in a week that Lenovo has offered additional security features for its ThinkPad laptops. On Nov. 24, Lenovo officials said they are now offering users the ability to use an SMS (Short Message Service) text message to disable a notebook that has been stolen or lost.
The Intel anti-theft technology is built into the chip set itself. In the case of the Lenovo laptops, the Intel technology will work with Absolute Software's Computrace tracking and anti-theft software, which is stored in the laptop's firmware and allows an IT department to track where a notebook is at any given time.
With the combination of the Intel technology and Computrace, IT departments can set policies for laptop security. For example, if a ThinkPad is disconnected from a central server for a long period of time or if it detects a certain number of log-in failures, the laptop could be set to shut down.

LOWER DESERT WATERS
SALTON SEA: The tilapia action is still excellent. There has been a surge of bigger tilapia again over the past week with quite a few fish to three pounds in the mix. The best bite on the bigger fish has been when the breeze comes up early in the afternoon through the evening and night. Anglers are catching as many fish as they’re willing to clean or fillet with some filling ice chests. The bite is still best on nightcrawler pieces, but some fish on red worms or pieces of Berkley sand worm baits. All the reports are from the state park jetty area or the old Salton Sea Yacht Club jetty. Anglers do not need a fishing license this Saturday, one of the two state “Free Fishing Days,” and there is a free derby at the state park visitor’s center Saturday. It is a big fish event with the weigh-in at noon and prizes are given for the three biggest tilapia in adult and junior categories. Flies continue to be a problem, so bring insect repellant. Kayak rentals are available at the state park headquarters. Boat launch fee is $3 and the park entrance fee is $5, both with a self-registration. The state park launch is available 24-hours a day and is currently the only boat launch on the sea. The camp store is open Friday through Sunday and has bait and basic fishing gear. Volunteers are needed to work in the visitor center and camp store. They get free camping and hookups. Information: Camp Store at (760) 289-9455 (open Friday-Sunday). Salton Sea State Recreation Area main office at (760) 393-3059, or the ranger station kiosk at (760) 393-3052 (or mobile phone at (760) 331-9944).
